Where Can I Find Cheap Finger Monkeys?

Finger monkeys, also called pocket monkeys or tiny lions, are fictitious animals. There is no way that a primate could evolve to become the size of a human finger (approx. Five cm long) as the complex digestive and circulatory organs systems and brains of primates are incompatible with the high metabolic rates of such a small creature. Extremely premature monkeys born that size would neither survive long, or look like "finger monkeys" as seen on the internet. There are a number of images on the internet of monkeys the size of a human finger, however these are edited. There are no known primates that size. Some people believe that finger monkeys are pygmy marmosets, the species native to South America, specifically western Brazil, Peru, Bolivia and Columbia. However, pygmy marmosets, Cebuella C. Pygmaea grow to have a body size of 14 to 16 centimetres, much larger than a human finger. Pygmy marmosets are a vulnerable species, which means they are close to being endangered but not quite. It is illegal to buy, sell, or trade them.

Even if "finger monkeys" did exist, there would be strict regulations governing their sale. In the United Kingdom and USA the sale of any animal requires a licence, and different sorts of licence are required depending on the animal being sold. Here is a source showing pictures of finger monkeys, which is how the myth of their existence was started. These photographs are faked: damncoolpics.blogspot.com/2010/12/finger-monkeys.html

Also here is the source containing the information about pygmy marmosets: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pygmy_marmoset

There isn't any cheap finger monkeys trust me. And if there asking for a small price then its a rip off. Its not the real thing or there is something wrong with it. Try looking at sugar gliders there semi-cheap and cute.

When we were stationed in Okinawa Japan (2006-2009), the local pet store had one. It cost several thousand yen (can't remember the exact price). This is the only place I have ever seen a finger monkey.

I realy want a finger monkey but they are 2000 dollers and I can't evan help my mom and dad fixs are only car. I could probly get one for 200 dollers

You might want to know what kind of monkey you are committing to first. Probably a type of marmoset (maybe pygmy or common) or something but as they can have different requirements you should probably know all of that before you look into buying one. Finger monkey only tells me it may be a smaller species.
