I'm sorry to hassle you about this again, but the concept of wild caught gliders really disturbs me. From reading your messages it seems that most people are responsible owners/breeders who only deal in tame captive bred animals, but through all the SG stuff I've read there are lots of references to pet shops offering wild caught gliders, and the difficulty people have with their wild gliders. Does anyone know- 1) is it still legal to import gliders into the US (and how can a petshop that sells wild animals keep its license)? 2)Where do wild gliders come from? Since export of native animals of any kind is practically impossible in Australia, I presume these are from PNG/Indonesia.
