There are a lot of issues here-- moral, ethical, legal, etc.-- with legal being the first one that springs to my mind. Here is some relevant advice from an online article I found, regarding keeping wildlife as pets:

"Check with your local level of government first - your city, town, or county. This is often the level at which the most restrictive laws are enacted. If you have a hard time finding out who you should call, try asking a local humane society, animal shelter, or veterinarian for advice. Sometimes health departments have regulations in addition to the city laws. If your prospective pet is legal locally, they next step would be to check at higher level. If you are in the US, call your state's department of wildlife or natural resources to check on possible restrictions (some states have strict laws over exotic pets; some have none). The next level to check is federal (country wide). In the US a United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) license might be required so contact the nearest USDA office. Other agencies such as the Fish and Wildlife Service and Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services oversee the import and export of animals, and in some cases even the Centers for Disease Control and other health related departments might have restrictions in place."
