Hey, here are SOME answers:

1. The place I want to put my S.G. cage, I don't think is dark enough; should I cover the cage with a towel in the day time?
They still need to be bale to tell the diffrence between night and day, because they are nocturnal. As long as the light isnt bright, then they can handle it.

2. Do S.G. go potty whenever or is there a certain amount of time inbetween?

My glider Brizzo pees whens she wakes up and sometimes does other stuff...but this only happens when I wake her up. And then all day shes fine in the pouch, but its not like they have these huge bladders, she pees very very little.

4.Do S.G. wake up early on days when it's dark and overcast?

My glider sleeps all day, dark or bright. But the thing is,
at night she'll still sleep if its bright. :/

5.When you guys talk about "American Express" gliders, are they awake most of the time you take them everywhere?

Shes never awake when I take her out. And the cute thing is, even when shes on me, if i show her her pouch, she ALWAYS goes in, no matter where she is. It's her favorite place.

6.Is it possible to train them or at least get them used to waking them up in the day and going places?

I've heard of people doing it, but I dont think its a good idea to reverse something natural like that. Like when I dont have school, I'll sleep all day and wake up all night.
It really makes me sick, and I do it consistently for a good 2-3 months. Plus if they are happy sleeping during the day why bother them? :)

Have fun!
