I'm sorry but otters are wild creatures and DO NOT do good in captivity. I do not know of ANY place where it is legal to own otters.
Otters may look all cute and fuzzy but they are actually very aggressive animals and do not do well in captivity. Go watch them at a zoo.
Don't know that you can keep an otter as a pet.
You can find the "Top 5 Reasons Otters Do NOT Make Good Pets" at http://animal.discovery.com/fansites/sav...
http://www.cmaquarium.org/mammals/otters... says River otters do not make good pets for several reasons. Rivers otters belong to the same family as weasels, skunks, and ferrets. These animals have the ability to "spray" a musky odor from scent glands located under the tail and they will mark their territory (i.e. your home) with urine and feces. River otters have the potential to destroy most items found in a home. Most importantly, they have an extremely aggressive nature and will bite! Most states require a permit to care for these animals.
And http://www.sptimes.com/news/111901/xpres... reports "I have so many stories about people who try to adopt otters as a pet," said Ms. Blum. "After they get out of the hospital, they call the closest zoo or aquarium" to come and pick up the animal. Yes, that's right, the hospital. It doesn't matter how good you are with animals; Florida otters can, and do, bite humans.
Are you sure you want an otter?
