Where can i legitly purchase a baby spider monkey as a pet?

Question

Recently i took a cruise with my family which went to several islands, and at one of them we were able to play with these cute, friendly creatures which were spider monkeys. They were so playful, they would be a perfect pet. I live in maryland, USA and i need a legit site to purchase a baby spider monkey. Thanks.

Answer 1

theyl prob be heaps expensive

Answer 2

okay so i hope you realize that spider monkeys live quite a long time. they shouldnt be owned as pets and also require a lot of care. it's not too hard to find one to purchase though. try pets4you.com or a similar site. they're going to be expensive too a couple thousand or so. and watch out for the lawsuits when your monkey gets loose and attacks someone...yeah it really will happen. just make sure you research before buying please and make sure it's legal to have one as a pet in your state. good luck.

Answer 3

they are not pets don't adopt a monkey. i watched a dateline on it, and it talks about how in order for them to be adopted they have to tranquilize the mother and take the baby away while it fights back. and then it will be attached to you for months, because it misses its mom. its better to leave the monkey in its natural habitat. and one day, it will attack you. it will. for no reason. seriously, don't do it. Read these link I have provided.

I think that word is supposed to be legally and the answer is you cant.  They will not make the perfect pet.  They are wild animals and are very demanding to take care of.  Go to the shelter and get a dog, they are just as cute, friendly and playful.
