I would like to ad that if you breed in Iowa, doesn't matter how many cages you are breeding, you must have a state permit which costs $175 yearly. This law went into effect 2010.

Also may want to note that in nearby Nebraska, they are illegal in Omaha city limits. You may contact Omaha Humane Society for all the illegal areas.

Yep. Same as Massachusetts. They get around the clause by not issuing the permits when requested.

It's either the entire state, or just a region. It's all about the local laws on exotic pet ownership. There are different reasons for different places.

Why exactly are sugar gliders illegal to have in the 5 boroughs of nyc? It just doesnt make any sense to me that I can just go 10 minutes on the hwy and they are legal (nassau county)

Thats what I say about MASS. CT is literally 10 minutes away, and all the surrounding states (except PA), have glider's legalized. The main issues are completely taken care of by the fact that a sugar glider could never survive the harsh winters, but clearly the issue of legalizing sugar gliders isnt at the top of MA's to-do list. I question it when a good majority of the states that have glider's legal are much warmer and have a much higher risk of them being able to survive in the wild. Who knows how the government works these days.

Sugar gliders are indeed illegal in the 5 boroughs of NYC. This is in accordance with the NYC health code where it states:
"(b) For the purposes of this Code, wild animals are deemed to be any animals which are naturally inclined to do harm and capable of inflicting harm upon human beings and are hereby prohibited pursuant to subsection (a). Such animals shall include: (i) any animals specified by the Commissioner in regulations promulgated pursuant to this section; (ii) any native or exotic wildlife whose possession or sale is prohibited because they are designated as protected or endangered pursuant to any federal, state or local law, regulation, or rule; and (iii) any of the following animals"

Where it proceeds to list marsupials and directly sugar and greater gliders.

Now, I don't really see how a glider can be considered one prone to inflict harm, and a glider bite, while painful isn't usually what we think of when we think of bodily harm. All animals are capable of harming humans...

Thought I'd clarify the answer though.

Please tell me that these state restrictions are all 100%true!! and if they are, would they be able to change? Because i live in Fort Worth, Texas and my brother was telling me that we have to take extra care for them because no vet here can care for them if they get sick, and also that we couldn't take it to the vet becuase they were illegal? Please respond ASAP!

They are also illegal in Galveston and possibly Galveston County. A few years back Galveston Humane society seized some in a puppy mill raid and they had to be relocated out of Galveston.

You would need to call the city and ask to be sure.
