Spider monkeys for sale

Spider monkeys are long-limbed climbers with a tail that works like a fifth hand. They hang, swing and wrap themselves around the people they love, and they are among the most affectionate monkeys we raise.

They are also big. An adult can weigh over 15 pounds and needs real height to climb in. We raise every baby by hand and are honest with families about the space and time a spider monkey needs.
