I've posted this topic before and got a response, but unfortunately, the person who was going to show me their raccoon was getting it this spring and found out that there was a local law against it.

can you call the state game comm. and ask if they have a list of raccoon owners?

I'm sure there are exceptions, but I think it comes down to personality and socialization. The problem is, you have to start socializating when they are young... and at their most rambunctious and mouthy. All it takes is one bite or scratch (even in play) to the wrong person , and they're gone forever.
I never wanted to take the risk, so Giz is only "herself" around people she knows. I've wondered before how common that might be.

I hope you can make it happen! Please share your experiences if you do!
