Gliders are not legal in Alaska check out http://www.angelfire.com/nb/sugarglider/stateres.aspl#AK
here is a quote
"Sugar Gliders are not legal as pets in Alaska. Alaska has a "clean list" of animals that
are allowed into the state without a permit. A permit to keep a pet cannot be issued
for animals which are not on this list Below is the law stating all this. Alaska, being an
isolated state has the unique opportunity to more fully protect its native animals from
the known and unknown dangers of non-native species. For this reason, the law below
was enacted. It was nearly impossible to list all the animals
people might want to have, and then decide whether they would be "safe" for the
native animals in Alaska, or the reverse: list all the animals that should not be kept as
pets in Alaska in order to protect our native species. Therefore, this clean list was
inacted into law. The Alaska Board of Game will add an animal to the list if an Alaska
resident petitions the Board to add the species, and if it meets the stringent
requirements of part (h) of the law. "
therefore no one will ship to you in case their babies are confidcated then put down.
