And feeding is labour intensive. You have to make a slurry that is almost liquid, comprising meat, milk raw egg and other additives. As a result, their poop stinks (because of the meat).

Best kept by zoos and fauna parks IMO.

And that's their good points. Try picking one up, even if you can get by the spines they have an extraordinary ability to stick to any surface like snot to a velvet jacket.
