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 Texas sees hot, humid summers with mild winters, enclosures should prioritize shade, airflow, and misting systems during peak summer months; heating needs are minimal in winter. We walk every Texas buyer through this at reservation time.
