Answer
Dear Dasfo:

You are correct.  Sugar gliders are illegal in CA.  Unless you are part of an institution like a school you are not likely to get a permit.  There are people that keep sugar gliders illegally in CA, but it is a very bad idea.  You run the risk of the animal(s) being confiscated and they are usually put to death.  The authorities do not deal with out of state rescues.  If you are moving to CA, please choose a legal pet.

Best of luck,

Laurie
