: This has been posted to alt.pets.sugargliders recently. Having never read a book on gliders I have only the posters word for this info being there. It is obviously false an the authors need to consider publishing a revision:

: "
: "Sugar Gliders as Your New Pet", Wood states....

: If you plan to breed sugar gliders, you are advised to obtain a USDA license. A memo issues by the USDA states:
: "Selling of these pets directly to the public, presumably as pets, does not require a license. In such situations, the seller is comparable to a retail pet store, and (by policy) retail sale of pocket pets does not require a license. Selling pocket pets beyond just maintaining a 'private collection' will require a license, since these animals are not sold primarily as pets."

: (claims this book also says you do not need a license to sell)
: according to Helen O'Reilly in her book Sugar Gliders - A New Owner's Guide to Sugar Gliders continues to this day to be the best and most complete book on the subject."

: This person obviously thinks that books are 'gospel' and contain "TRUTH" which anyone with a brain knows it not true.

: Any commnets/questions?

Who are you referring to when you said,"this person obviously thinks that books are 'gospel' and contain "Truth" which anyone with a brain know its not true.
