The detail
Creme ino is a recessive sugar glider color: a cream to pale tan coat with red eyes, produced by a gene that reduces pigment in fur and eyes. Its eyes are more sensitive to bright light, so it needs dim lighting on top of standard glider care.

What to weigh
Red-eyed gliders are sensitive to bright light and may see less well, so the room and cage need to stay dim. Everything else, from diet to companion, matches any glider.
