How to Buy a Monkey in Missouri

Buying a monkey in Missouri starts with confirming your local permit eligibility, then reserving your monkey with a licensed breeder. Here's exactly how the process works with Exotic Monkeys.

Step-by-Step Process

1. Check eligibility: Missouri requires registration of large primates with local animal control within 10 days of acquisition.
2. Prepare housing: Missouri has humid continental with cold winters and hot summers — indoor heated space is essential from late fall through early spring — outdoor time must be limited or supplemented with heat lamps once temperatures drop below 65°f.
3. Choose your monkey: Browse our available monkeys and select a species suited to your household.
4. Submit a reservation: Fill out our reservation form with your shipping address and permit status.
