My glider is about 2 years old but is only semi tame. I've had her since she was a baby but never REALLY tamed her. She'll let me pet her and will eat out of my hand but I cannot pick her up. She's lonely I think and I would like to bond with her. Is it too late?? What should I do to tame her??

also no it is not too late, it make take a bit longer, you have to be very patient and not try to rush her. If you have started with things that have traumatized her, chasing, holding etc.. then you have to first undo what it done. Start with allowing her to learn to trust you. Consistancy is the key, not being persistant. There is a huge difference, the more you work with her, as often as you can the better your chances are.
