All native Australian mammals are protected by law. Therefore, it is illegal to have a platypus as a pet in Australia or any other country.
The average person would not be able to provide the conditions it needs. It would die very quickly as platypuses are highly sensitive to ecological changes.
There are currently no zoos overseas permitted to keep platypuses. Only a limited number of facilities in Australia keep them for either display or research purposes, and there are very strict government controls on the housing and keeping of these monotremes.
