Anyone have any experience with pocket gliders? I saw them at a sportshow this weekend. They look pretty cool. I am thinking about getting a pair.

Here is a site to check them out. Let me know what you think!

They are considered exotics. You should make sure that they are legal in your state and see if you need a special permit.

Do you have any idea how i would go about finding that out? Never dealt with that kind of issue before

Are you talking about sugar gliders? Because i was looking into getting them before starting my tank and decided not to for a few reasons. 1. expensive. 2. you cannot sell them without a special permit so if you got them and didnt want them anymore you couldnt sell them unless you made some type of special arrangements with the dealer.. and 3. they must receive at least 2-3 hours a day of human contact and attention or they can die of lonelyness..... :'( I would suggest a lot of research before getting sugar gliders....
