im not so sure why suger gliders were banned though...why would they be considered dangerous?

It's hard to say Manda, maybe they are concerned they could get free and start a local population and affect a native rodent/squirrel . That is very interesting in Pennsylvania though, add they have some of the loosest laws in the country regarding reptiles. You can basically own anything there. Last I checked, there still weren't any restrictions on venomous species at all there, meaning a 16 year old can go to a reptile show and by a cobra with no questions asked.

As I said, it's almost impossible to figure out the logic behind any of these laws.
