Patas Monkeys are ground-dwelling and built for open terrain, so they need a large, secure outdoor run sized to the local temperature swings. Since Missouri sees 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. We walk every Missouri buyer through this at reservation time.
