[beaver8888]

well only reason i was thinking a lobster is i'd be cheap and uncomman

 

[Guysy1110]

I see what your saying.. do you mean just catch a lobster or buy one from the super market and keep it as a pet ?

Found this link : Caring for your pet lobster | Ask MetaFilter

Hope it helps

sounds like a predicament though...cuz they eat each other

also found this.. not sure if it applies to you but someone said about needing a permit ScubaBoard - Keeping lobsters in an aquarium?

 

[beaver8888]

i love laws...there the best thing for society
i also think its rediculous how you can have a tiger or something of the sorts and not own a permit (only includes some states)
irony?

back in the day my father had a friend that had a pet monkey, one fourth of july they gave it a firecracker and the monkey died. end of story.........yea its dumb


i always thought it would be kinda cool to keep a regular spined or rock lobster.
