Welcome

 Like leucistic gliders, a creamino sugar glider is also a result of a recessive gene. This means you have to cross two gliders with the same coloration to breed this color. 

Creamino sugar gliders exhibit a cream-colored body or reddish crème-colored fur with a tawny, brownish stripe on the center of their body. They also sport garnet eyes or deep ruby eyes.

A black beauty sugar glider is a variation of the standard gray color. They flaunt a dark gray fur that sometimes appears close to black. 

They also have black knuckles and a chin strap that extends past their eyes and beyond their ears. 

 Oftentimes called classic gray gliders, standard gray sugar gliders are the most common of all the gliders. They appear to have gray bodies, black dorsal stripes, and white underbellies. 

The white tip sugar glider has a primarily gray color and has the same pattern all over its body and head. It also exhibits a few white hairs to a large white tip on the end of its tail.

Note, however, that white tip sugar gliders are a result of a recessive gene which makes breeding them quite challenging. 

 A lion sugar glider is another variation of the classic gray sugar glider. However, they feature honey or golden color to their fur and have shorter noses and rounder faces.  

  Cinnamon sugar gliders have a brownish tint or a cinnamon-colored tint all over their body. They usually come with a dark reddish-brown stripe. 

Piebald sugar gliders feature a mosaic pattern all around their body. These patterns can be random and asymmetrical. Likewise, piebald sugar gliders will also have totally unpigmented spots. 

Some sugar gliders of this pattern may also exhibit eye color that matches the surrounding skin. This is usually due to an underlying genetic cause related to leucism.

 The silver mosaic sugar glider usually flaunts a light silver-colored fur. 

The white mosaic sugar glider has mostly white fur with very little to no dark fur. They have dark patches or black dots mainly on their heads or ears that may come in varying sizes and pigmentation, which are often called “cow ears.” 

Although often mistaken for being a leucistic glider, white mosaic sugar gliders do not have leucistic genes. To be considered a white mosaic, these sugar gliders must be born almost entirely white. 

 Ringtail sugar gliders come from mosaic gliders. They have a variety of patterns on the body and rings on the tail which can come in various colors, such as white, light gray, silver, and black.  

Like mosaic gliders, true platinum mosaic gliders feature a white collar and a ringtail. Their difference is that true platinum mosaics have the actual platinum genes. 

Although platinum sugar gliders can come in various other colors and patterns, from red to dark platinum, they will always sport a platinum color on their body. They also have dark markings along their back and heads. 

Mahogany red sugar gliders are among the newest color variations of sugar gliders. They are characterized by a very lightly colored red all throughout their body. 

Likewise, since mahogany red sugar gliders are a variation of standard gray sugar gliders, their patterns and markings are quite similar. The main difference is that these gliders can also have albino, white face, and mosaic variations.

 Cedar red sugar gliders are very similar to mahogany red gliders. They are characterized by a red coloration all throughout their fur. The difference, however, is the cedar red gliders have a much darker and deeper color. 

 A leucistic sugar glider is characterized by a solid white coat with no stripes and facial bars. They also feature black eyes, pink noses, and translucent ears. 

This color is often a result of a recessive gene. That said, to produce a leucistic glider, another sugar glider must be paired with a sugar glider that is a carrier of the same recessive gene or the leucistic gene. 

 Like leucistic gliders, a creamino sugar glider is also a result of a recessive gene. This means you have to cross two gliders with the same coloration to breed this color. 

Creamino sugar gliders exhibit a cream-colored body or reddish crème-colored fur with a tawny, brownish stripe on the center of their body. They also sport garnet eyes or deep ruby eyes.

 A platinum sugar glider features light silver fur, medium gray markings, and a light gray to taupe color stripe. The stripes on this glider are often narrower compared to others. 

Another distinct characteristic of platinum gliders is that they have white paws. 

The coloration of white face sugar gliders is similar to those of classic gray gliders. The main difference between the two is the lack of facial marks, such as the chin strap from their ear to their chin and the dark bar under their ears. 

In order to produce white-faced gliders, only one sugar glider in a pair needs to possess the trait since it is a dominant gene. Hence, white face sugar gliders can be bred with almost any other coloration or pattern. 

The white face blonde sugar glider is very similar to white face sugar gliders. Their only difference is that a white face blonde’s overall fur coloration is lighter than that of white face sugar gliders.

Likewise, white face blonde gliders will have a golden hue on their fur, particularly on their stomach and face. 

 A melanistic glider is the exact opposite of an albino. Their fur and skin have a dark pigment due to an abnormally high concentration of melanin, along with black eyes.

While this color may be desirable to a lot of people, not all breeders believe that melanistic gliders exist and just consider them a variety of black beauties and black face black beauties.
