How to Buy a Monkey in Texas

Buying a monkey in Texas 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: Texas allows private primate ownership with local permitting in many counties; regulations vary by county/city.
2. Prepare housing: Texas has hot, humid summers with mild winters — enclosures should prioritize shade, airflow, and misting systems during peak summer months; heating needs are minimal in winter.
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.
5. Verification: Our team confirms your Texas permit/documentation before finalizing the sale.
6. Delivery: Local pickup is available directly from our facility, or short-distance ground transport can be arranged.
