Brandon,
I don't think that anyone was giving him a hard time over getting a glider but they all were together in saying that he should know everything he can about gliders before purchasing one. Which I believe you also stated in your response. It was just advice and opinions which is what this 'glider gossip' is about.
It was just advice and voiced concerns but none of the advice was given in a malicious fashion.
I am glad that you have no problems with your gliders and a messy room doesn't matter (mine is) :) but you do have to be careful about certian things in that messy room. And more then just the heater.
All the best of luck to you, but did you know all the information before you purchased one? did you look up its nutrition needs, behaviour, breeding? etc.
And incase this is taken in the wrong context aswell, it wasn't meant to be. People just gave advice and they are right. Keep in mind that you gave the same advice.

Happy Glidering.
: Well first off I'd like to commet all them bums discouraging you to get one. Don't listen to them. If you want a sugar glider. You should get all the info. on them you possibly can. Get a escape proof cage. Your messy room situation with room is alright just make sure they can't acess to the heat register if they were to escape. My room is not the cleanest either but I manage to keep and breed my gliders without a problem. You can get a glider from a local pet shop or they are almost always found at reptile shows for a cheap price. But, be careful and pick a glider wisely. You should not pay more then 250 for it. Back to all them fags talking shit . I'm so disapppointe with them . They would come on a web site and tell people wanting a glider is not a good enough reason to own one. What the heck?!!
: : : : If you have a sugar glider/s please email me with what
: : : : they're like, what they do and how they are better than
: : : : a cat or a dog.

: : : : Email me at platypus@mpx.com.au

: : : They are not easy to take care of!!!
: : : They poop on you.
: : : They Pee on you.
: : : They have an odor.
: : : They cannot be left alone in any room, and the room must be Glider proofed.
