As in South Carolina? No, there are no wild sugar gliders in SC, though you might find Flying Squirrels, which look similar to sugar gliders.
In captivity people who are not familiar with sugar gliders sometimes mistaken them for flying squirrels which look similar but are not related and have widely different dietary needs.
Flying squirrels look a lot like sugar gliders and they are native to North America.
they are SOOO cute. http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k112/tahoeamber/Sugar-Glider-Baby-pix.jpg

Sugar gliders belong to the possum family. They vary from 27cm to 40cm in length, with much of that being their bushy tail. They do not have wings, but a membrane of skin stretching from the wrists of their forelegs to their ankles. This membrane extends to enable them to glide distances of up to 60 metres. The fur of sugar gliders is bluish-grey, although individuals may have more tan tones. They have a black stripe which goes from their nose, over their head, to their back, and the tip of their tail is black also. They have large black eyes, encircled with a dark ring. Their underbelly tends to be a pale cream colour. There can also be albino sugar gliders. Female sugar gliders have a pouch, as they are marsupials.

Yea. look at its colour. Done sugar will usually be yellow-ish. Well done sugar will be black.

Sugar gliders actually do make good pets if they're suited to you. First, you should adopt two. Second, they don't smell bad if the cage is kept clean and they're on a healthy diet (Aka NOT PELLETS!). Yes, they do make noise though... Mine don't make much, but if yours make so much noise that they bother you, place the cage in an area of the house that is not in your bedroom. Now, adopting sugar gliders. There are some sugar glider rescues out there, but I'd need to know your location to tell you which one you should look into.
