: From someone I talked to they confiscated the glider and fined them as cynthia said a very large sum of money, They didn't care if the person had them before or not.. THEY ARE ILLEGAL and they can and will dispose of them if you are caught with them, California's fear is that the gliders can survive in their enviroment and fears of them messing up their eco system is a major issue. PLEASE check FIRST with the california dept of wildlife..
This is a quote - "domesticated Sugar Gliders can be legally brought to California by nonresidents, under the Department of Fish and Game exemptions, who move to California with neutered males in tow if they could prove they already had been part of the household prior to the move." There's been groups fighting the ban of wild animals for years. There's a complete history of the various California bills at the Official California Legislative Information page at http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/ you're bound to get lots of different answers - so it's best you visit the site directly
