Are sugar gliders illegal in Florida?
No, they aren’t illegal in Florida. You can buy them usually in pet stores and even flea markets. Really, the only law applying to sugar gliders is this: “A Class 3 permit is not required to own a sugar glider as a personal pet, If you have a un-neutered male and a female and babies may be expected which you plan on exhibiting, selling, trading, or transferring ownership of, then a special license is also required , however that license is very very inexpensive based on how many you have. This license is addition to the the USDA federal license that is also required. Also in transferring ownership, you must keep records of each transfer. If transferring with the knowledge that the other person will be exhibiting, selling, trading, or transferring ownership of, the buyer must also be a permitted person. The failure to obtain the proper permits and licenses holds a maximum penalty of 60 days in jail, and a $500.00 fine. Please read each section of the new law that pertains to gliders.
