Make sure it is healthy. I would watch it in the LFS for a while to make sure it is healthy. But if you really want him go ahead, just becarful.

I mean, they really aren't that entertaining or useful. I for one would not pay seventy dollars for an invertebrate, but someone else probably will. Is it worth it to you? And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
