Buy a Monkey in Springfield, MO

Ready to bring home a pet monkey in Springfield? Here's how Springfield buyers work with Exotic Monkeys, from permit verification to delivery.

1. Confirm your Springfield and Missouri permit status — Missouri requires registration of large primates with local animal control within 10 days of acquisition.
2. Prepare housing suited to Springfield's climate: 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.

4. Submit your reservation form — mention Springfield for local delivery coordination.
5. We verify documentation and confirm your delivery window. Ground transport typically takes 1-2 days; flight nanny delivery is also available for a faster handoff.

Should I set up my enclosure before or after reserving?
