I have two sugar gliders, Cletus and Jim Bob. I know that they're supposed to be in temps about 80 degrees, it's almost 95 degrees here now. I was wondering what temperature is too hot for them to be in.

They can tolerate temps up to 90-95 F. In the wild, they would seek shelter in a tree or other protected nest. A fan or air conditioning can be set to keep the temperature down in the acceptable range. They should not be directly in front of vents or fans though.
