Oops did I say that? Must be the Hillbilly coming out again.
For the best info on our native critters,

Sugar gliders!!! My best friend used to have one as a pet. She had to give it back to the breeder when she took a job that would have made it very difficult to give it the care it requires. It was adorable, but it didn't like me much...always chattered at me whenever I got near it.
