ShannaB, yes I had several when I was a child. Two of the green ones mated and gave birth to a pure while albino female. She was my special favourite. She flew free around the house, and sat on my shoulder while I did my homework, nibbling my ear occasionally!

No worries. They are really common pets in Australia.
