No, but I've picked up wild ones to move them off the road. They hiss a bit, but I've never heard of one actually biting anyone. If you pick them up just behind the front legs, they sorta go limp. Then you can carry them off the road and put them down in a safe place. Works for me.

The hissing is a sham, and those long jaws full of sharp teeth are supposed to scare you off. If you don't scare, the 'possum gives up.
