I’m Looking At Getting A Marmoset Monkey… Are They Legal In Georgia And What Type Of Care Do They Require?
I Do Not Want To Dive Into Something I Cannot Handle.
All nonhuman primates are banned in GA.

ooooo boy. You have no idea what your getting into do you. Monkeys require ALOT of care I mean ALOT of care. They can also be dangerous once they hit puberty. It is like taking a wild animal into your home, not a good idea.
this is what may happen:

I whold HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY reccomend NOT getting one. Sadly once these monekys grow up, the owners realize how much care they require so they ahve to get rid of them, and you never know where where they’ll end up. IF you do get one, make sure you know the risks, and be prepared to have a 2 year old (with teeth!) for 15+ years
