I'm on South Carolina Right outside of Greenville. I don't have a Glider yet but plan on getting one soon.

So I am in Beaufort, Yeahhh no not so much <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. But Me and my wife just drove to cleveland TN 8 hours to pick up our baby boy Bandits two new girlfriends. He is a happy camper now. No more mating calls at 1 in the morning.

are you closer to the southern side of Greenville or the northern side (like closer to Duncan/Spartanburg)

Shannan here from Clover, SC.

Glider Mama to Big Daddy, Mama Girl, Little Bit, and Meeko.

GooseCreek SC, hey are there like any meeting places for people with gliders? that would be so cool.

We're trying to put together a NC/SC Glider Get Together. Would you be able to come to say Charlotte or Rock Hill?

Hey!! If any of you are interested as shannan posted in coming to a get together in Charlotte NC pm me or post itin the NC get together thread.
Thanks!!!!

Charleston!

Welcome, Cycy!

Beaufort, South Carolina here <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Heath Springs SC here, about halfway between Camden and Lancaster. Work at Buford High School teaching French. My suggie baby Alice even comes to work with me and sleeps curled up either in my pocket or under my shirt. Would love to have a get together.

Hey Welcome Aboard! Fellow South Carolinian!!!!!

Hello from the 'Burg...Orangeburg that is! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

Goose Creek, SC here!!!!

i don't have a glider yet, but getting one soon....

anyone know of any breeders or other people that may have gliders for sale? the pet store that i was going to rescue one from has luckily stopped selling them for lack of business..
if anyone can help please pm me...

nice to meet everyone!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hi, I'm new in here. I'm from Lexington. Didn't know about Petsmart. My gliders go to the Sunset Animal Hospital in West Columbia. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumb.gif" alt="" />

I'd like the lowdown on 'em...do they have actual experience with gliders? Are they friendly? Knowlegeable? There's an exotic vet here in my city but they've never seen a glider. I've taken iguanas to Sunset but it's been years ago.

Hey all!

I'm in Wellford,SC. Right smack dab in the middle between Greenville and Spartanburg. I'd love to meet some local people who have gliders too. I'm sure everyone at work is sick of hearing about mine....LOL!!!

We need to have an SC Glider Get Together. Be looking for Alex to post, the happy new owner of two little girl joeys from my home to hers.

Shannan

Hey Shannan,

We actually just had a NC/SC get together last weekend in Charlotte, but it would be cool to have another one closer to the coast so those folks could attend as well.

I agree!!!!

Hey everyone!

Greenville, SC here! and hoping to be a glider owner real soon!!

aiken, sc here! i take mine to the ark animal hospital on whiskey road. well...will today! for the first time <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> and the petsmart here has a few glider things.

SUNSET ANIMAL HOSPITAL they are great. They take care of my Gliders Sutton and Suzie. They have seen other Gliders and I know this because they freaked out and were all prepared to get bitten when they found out I was there to have a wellness check done on my Sutton and Suzie. lol They always tell me now that I have the sweatiest most friendliest Gliders they have ever seen there. I try to tell them that there are other people friendly Suggies out here but they swear they have not seen any as sweet and nice as Sutton and Suzie are. I have now included Sunset Animal Hospital in my "Take the Gliders out to Socialize with stringers route". Once or Twice a month I take them out to "socialize" We visit the Columbia Animal Shelter, Forest Acres Police Department, Lugoff Fire Department, Sunset Animal Hospital and a couple of pet stores.

A SC Get Together in the Columbia Area would be great. I say Columbia because it's in the middle of the State so folks North and South can all meet in the middle. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

When is the next one in SC?

I am finally posting here

Upstate area.

Columbia here

Is anyone from SC going to the SGGA?

what is the SGGA? and where? I'm from Clemson btw.

Did you check it out Rynn? One day you need to go to one. They're amazing.
So many people.
Sooooooooooo many gliders!!!

Hi all
I'm new here and live in Columbia. I'm a new suggie mom as well. I have a cute little spoiled boy named Cooper.

McCormick, SC here!

We need a mini-get together in the upstate! I checked out SGGA and would love to go one day when it's not so far away. How many suggies do ya'll have and how old?

I'l be having one sometime after October. It will be my second. I have to get past the SGGA and the GAGT get togethers first.

There seem to be a lot of people from the Monks Corner area on here. I go to Clemson, but am oringially from TN and ALL of my friends and room mates at Clemson are from Monks Corner (and area). I want to visit I know everything about it, even all the girlie drama. haha.

Howdy, my name is Jacob.

Typically I'm a reptile keeper and breeder, but have slowed down in the reptile department as of late and have taken a large interest in sugar gliders. Been reading up for weeks on them, havn't bothered posting here yet.

I've got the diet and everything worked out. Still glider proofing my house. Got the tent and a few other toys and whatnot together already, still arguing paying the price for a reptarium or just building my own (which I have done for reptiles 50 times over). 4 feet tall, 2.5 feet long, 1.5 feet deep. Wooden frame and mesh outside with the entire front being an opening door with 2-3 latches down the front. That is the plan for the cage unless I find out mesh prices are sky high(which I doubt).

But regardless, within the next 3-4 weeks I was planning on buying one, and was wondering if any of you know a SC reputable breeder I could speak to? I'm willing to pay the full cost, not looking for a deal, just looking for a decently bread animal, not some pet store abuse.
Your help is much appreciated, thanks!
Jacob Kable~

hi kable ~
i'm in columbia. where are you located?
it's better to buy a pair at one time.

i bought one and now i'm trying to find him a friend...

Haha I can't believe I didn't discover this forum until now!

Tara here...live in Simpsonville, just south of Greenville SC...arrived here March of this year via Lynchburg VA...originally from Ellington CT and lived in Orlando FL for a time as well :o)

Proud new owner of 8 week old female Glider we named Smokey (yes, after the Great Smokey Mountains because we got her in TN). I am looking forward to learning all we can about our new addition to our family.

WELcome to GliderCENTRAL! Congratulations on your new little baby. Please feel free to post pics of Smokey in our Glider Talk Forum. Also, you will find tons of great information to help learn more about sugar gliders. Don't hesitate to ask questions in the appropriate forums, we will do our best to help. Good Luck, and hope to see you on the board.

Hey everyone Just moved to Monks Corner From Jhonson City TN. I have a bonded pair and they have male & female Joyes. The pair are a lttle over a year old and the babies are 4 wks opp.

i will more than likely be moving back to SC in about a month or two. I have lived in Goose Creek ( was living on the navy base there) and was living in anderson for a while.

Where will you be moving back? I am very close to Anderson, about 45 minutes or so away. I currently have 18 suggies! (I rescue)

I am in spartanburg,sc but Suggiemom I go to wellford alot!

Hello. Is this place still active?? I am in upstate SC, in the Greenville County area. Don't see too many gliders in this area, but I have 2 wonderful rescues, Sugar & Nibbles, and I'd love to get together to make toys and stuff!!

Hi Sari. I'm in Greenville and Ive currently got NINETEEN gliders! There are several people in the area with gliders. Once I get settled in (I'm in the process of moving to Greer) I'll schedule a little get together and we can make some glider goodies, etc.

Hi Laurie!
This is SOOOO COOL!! You won't be that far from me. I'm in the mountains a little bit. The blue ridge area, near Lake Robinson. Know the area?? I can't wait, hurry up and move!

Hey Sari! I've gotten all moved in. I'm not sure where that's at. I'm in Greer so are you towards Travelers Rest?

Yep... pm sent

Hello South Carolina!
You really have to meet Laurie "Suggiemom"...
What a great "Mommy"!
She runs a wild life rescue, and I got to snuggle and feed a baby raccoon! Also, she currently has two little rascal Joeys. HOW ADORABLE! We got to play together (me & the joeys!). I brought Sugar & Nibbles with me, and Sugar gave Laurie lots of love. If she gets the seal of approval from Sugar, then she gets it from me too!
Laurie has wonderful Suggies, she is good at clipping nails, and has a heart of gold!

Oh, and I can't forget Tara "Saturngirl" from Columbia. She drove all the way here with the crazy gas prices just to snuggle with more suggies and the baby raccoon! How cool is that? It was great to meet you both!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The point of this SC posting? There ARE great people here in SC that have suggies, and I want to meet MORE!! Let's make some toys, and snuggle some fuzzies!!

So, Laurie, when are we making cage sets???? I'll bring my sewing machine!

Hey now...I have a reputation to uphold, don't be tellin' people I'm too nice.....LOL

The first time Tara met me she looked scared to death....I said "See, I don't REALLY have horns and a tail...." LOL

We'll definitely have to get together and sew. It might be the only way I get motivated enough to do it! LOL

Awwww, thats awesome! (And I am SO JEALOUS.....you got to cuddle a baby raccoon! lol)

Mary, you just don't know what it is like... Can you see the face on me when she was tickling me? I think that one says it all!
(edited... Mary, sorry, I thought this was the raccoon posting, LOL... you know the one I mean...)

Laurie, I'm avaialable!
I have to go to the dentist tomorrow, but there always the next day... and the next...

K, I'll let ya know!

Hi Sari
It was so nice meeting you on Saturday. As soon as I get a sewing machine I'll be so there making cage sets with ya'll.

The 2 little joeys Sweet and Sour came from Columbia. I got to have them in my house overnight and took them up to Laurie. I love little joeys....they are so cute!

Tara, it was nice to meet you too! Yes, the Joey's were SOOOO cute! I got to play with them for a while. I think they are expecting it now, so Laurie's got her hands full!
You know, I am willing to share my machine with you, if you'd like to join us...

Hey SC community!!
first lets start with my sad story

Three weeks ago I purchased a supposed "bonded pair" ... Two nights ago my male died... I have never been more devastated! I don't know what could have happened! I have taken his body to a vet and they think that it could have been malnutrition but most likely it was a preexisting condition. Now my little girl will not be a mommy and I have lost someone so precious to me! I would have gladly taken in a sick glider just to make its last days a bit better but it isn't fair to allow me to get attached and have him jerked away from me. i WISH i knew what happened, I followed everything they said to do, but the vet thinks they weren't fed enough. I am so upset because I followed the eating regiment exactly from what the supposed expert handler gave me....... I wish I has followed my gut and changed the diet but he said it wasn't safe....not fair. For now I must worry about her. I have gotten her checked out and she seems to be in great health. How can someone do this? I'm going to miss him so much.
So for now I am just trying to give her all the attention in the world and help her get over losing her buddy. I am currently searching for another addition to our family, I am allergic to dogs and cats so suggies are so perfect for me. I will probably wait a little while before getting another one, I dont know how I can replace him. I hope she will be ok ...any advice for a grieving suggie is greatly appriciated , oh not to mention a grieving owner!!!
awwwwwww i miss him.


Anyways I have had a hard time getting over his death but again like I said I have now become a slave to my little darling muffin. I am looking for her a friend so if anyone has any suggestions please let me knwo ! I would love to get intouch with some people in the area and maybe we can do something about the mistreatment of these animals in this state and then talk about how much we love them I am from clemson too by the way!!!

---Alexandria
Now only mommy to one
But missing bear more than anything!

By the way Laurie I can't tell you how big of a help you have been through my ordeal I would love to meet up without you.... and talk suggies and introduce you to little miss muffin, again thanks, you're an angel..oh and btw.....i am getting a gigantic cage and a tent for her hahahaha...i think she'll love it

Welcome Littlebear!
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss! Who did you get your suggies from?? And, did you change Muffin's diet yet? I use BML. If you would like some help, I'd be happy to assist! checking out all you can on this site will help the most. Also, Laurie is GREAT (as you already know). I am in the Greenville SC area, and would love to meet you one day. Where are you?

Hi Sari
She's in Clemson.

Hey Sari,
Yeah I am in Clemson, I have changed her diet to a leadbeater diet....that was the suggestion the vet made should i change it again? Greenville isn't far at all i would love to meet up with you sometime! Send me a PM and maybe we can meet up!

Thanks Linda!

oh god im everywhere, Clover, West Union, even some other cities out of SC, I live in about 3 different cities a year, fun

oh my! What does your husband do that makes that happen? (I think you mentioned in the other post, it was about your husband's job?) WELCOME to Glider Central!

yup, he works with duke energy, so we move between clover, sc west union, sc and denver, nc. we move every 3 months or so. we live in a 36ft camper, so its nice cuz we dont have to change homes, just where we park our home.

Hi, I live 2.5 miles from Sari Sariyappa and about 18 miles from Laurie Suggiemom. I have a rescue glider I got from Laurie "Raku" and he's doing great. Sari and I just got our twin girls my "Glaze" & Sari's Destiny from Virginia sugargliderlady and we've been having glider play dates for the girls. They are so glad to see each other that they hug & kiss every time they meet again. Richard and I moved here from the Pittsburgh, PA area and love the weather and the people.
GO STEELERS!

Hi Jana!
Welcome to GC and welcome to South Carolina!
Jana also got the chance to meet a bunch of people at this year's SSS in SC, so start planning for next year peeps!

Thought I would say hi. My boyfriend purchased our first Suggie this past Sunday. His name is Quantum, and he's precious. He's slowly warming up to us, but still crabs a good bit. This is a great forum. I'm learning a lot, and I'm glad there are people out there I can talk to if I need to.

Hi Gabrielle! You live in Columbia? Tara (Saturngirl) is in Columbia too. I'm sure she will post, she is very friendly! I wonder how far from eachother you guys are??

I hope to meet you some day soon, we all LOVE our suggies!! Welcome to GC!

Hi!
I'm new on here but in the Chapin area, I dont own a glider yet still looking but hopefully soon I will! Im absolutely in love with them

Hi and welcome!!!! I live close to you I'm in Columbia.

Hi kempge! I live in the "country" in Greenville County SC. Good luck on your suggie search, and welcome to the best suggie site to get to know your sugar gliders better!

Let us know if you need help once you have your babies. And we like LOTS of pictures!

Don't go blind w/ all the reading, cause you will be doing LOTS of it!

Welcome! I live over in Greer by Sari (SariYappa) and Laurie (Suggiemom).
Best of luck on suggie search and please keep us posted!

Welcome!!! Glad to see another South Carolinean here! If we can help out in any way, let us know!

Thinkin of movin out your way. Is SC a legal state? Do you need a permit? Are there breeders there?

Yep, SC is totally legal and yes, there are a few good hobby breeders here and in NC. We've got some good vets, etc.

and we have some GREAT suggie people here too!
Where exactly are you looking? It's very beautiful here.

My hubby was looking at Greenville. Wouldn't be able to do it until summer next year. So it's still up in the air. But I won't go anywhere that suggies are illegal so I wanted to check that out first. Thanks for answering my questions so quickly. I'll post again if we do decide to move out your way.

Good luck on whatever you choose...
and let us know if/when we have a new neighbor!!

Move to Columbia...LOL I need a suggie person close to me. Nah, Greenville isn't that far and I go visit Laurie, Sari and Jana every so often.
