You first have to make sure that you are the right person for a monkey. The most common species of monkey kept is the capuchin all though spider monkeys and macaques are also commonly kept. Here are some site that may help.

I also have a yahoo group for exotic pet owners called "You Have A What?"
http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/you-have-a-what/
There are several monkey owners there that would love to help you.
I was Just wondering if I would be able to own a capuchin monkey, if i am working weekdays from around 8 to 5. I would be home most of the time other than that and I will have my girlfriend living with me who will also be home a lot of the time when i am not. I have loved monkeys since i was a little kid and have put a lot of thought into owning one. Would this be ok or maybe just cruel??? I would also build my monkey a fair size outdoor enclosure. thanks!
If you got a monkey you would need to build the outdoor enclosure with a heated sleeping area and that’s where it would live – they can’t run round loose in a house. They are not pets in the usual sense, so what you are doing is keeping a wild animal in captivity – there is a difference. Also, as they are extremely social animals you need at least two, otherwise they are just miserable.
It is really rather cruel to keep them captive for no reason – they are born to live wild in the trees. Also, monkeys for the pet trade are caught as babies, by killing the mother and then taking the baby – also extremely cruel.
There are so many endangered monkey species – it would be a lot better to spend your money on work supporting their conservation – that’s the best monkey owner there is.

Good luck, they are awesome monkies
I awoke from a dream with the phrase "squirrel in their scut monkey" in my mind, wondering what it meant. I recall a similar phrase, "squirrel to their scut monkey", but don’t recall it’s meaning or origin. Anyone know?
A scut monkey is a slang term for a medical student who has to do health care tasks normally carried out by nurses or other health workers. A squirrel is slang for an attractive female. You must have been having a very odd dream !
Is there any part in the Twilight book that actually involves Edward even mentioning a spider monkey? Or any mention of the monkey? If you can find the exact page, that would be wonderful! And please don’t say "it’s in a running scene," because I kinda figure it would be in a running scene, already. Thank you!!
He didn’t say anything about it. The people who are making the movie are stupid and didn’t hire the rite actors or even have the rite phrases! i really wish they weren’t making a movie of it.
I need to get as a present for somebody but am a little confused, is it ‘late night tales’ or is that just songs by other artists chosen by arctic monkeys?
Thank you!

I’ve got poison ivy growing all in and through my monkey grass. Is there a spray I can buy that will kill the ivy without harming the monkey grass? Pulling it will be difficult since the roots are intertangled.
I’m not familiar with monkey grass, but if it’s grass-like, you can try a broad-leaf herbicide. I’d try it on just a little, in an inconspicuous spot, at first. Hope this helps…
I’m looking into Pygmy marmoset monkey adoption for my sister. And I guess having a monkey as a pet is restricted in some places. So, I’m looking for a place to find out if our city allows them. Where do I find out if monkeys are allowed in Waterford, MI?
Michigan addresses only big cat species and bears. Waterford Township bans the apes but not the smaller monkey species. You will still need to check Oakland county laws to see if they apply.

B4 they sent 1000’s of their daughters and sons off to die and kill maybe 100,000 innocent Iraqis. Eerily it could have been directly out of the film "Planet of the Apes" Just change USA USA to UH UH
America has the highest percentile of any country of its population in Prison.
Is it now not time for ye Yanks to change your anthem to "Land of the Imprisoned and Home of the Monkeys" with 50 little redneck monkey pictures on the flag instead of stars.
LOL White Scottish man married to an african princess
People report me for what telling the truth. The truth hurts. Maybe if enough of us write in to these forums ye Red neck monkies might get the picture and go home and leave those poor Iraqi’s to get on with their lives.
We are not all rednecks just the idiots that support the smirking chimp squatting in our White House.
