No. Possums are native to Australia and are protected by law in that country. They should not be confused with opossums of North America, which are very different creatures.

It depends on where you live, in some places it is completely illegal, in others you just have to have a license. For example: In Colorado it is illegal to keep a possum as a pet for whatever reason.

That depends on your local and state laws for keeping wild animals. It is generally not advised to keep a possum as a pet, however. Captive possums require large habitats, have very specific needs, and can be very destructive.
