text: what is a cuckold monkey? and do they make good pet?   i don't know the monkey, but of course it wont make a good pet. you are trying to domestic a wild animal - a process that takes generations and rush it into one. when you buy an exotic animal, you will not know how to properly care for it. it will cause problems in your life because it doesn't belong in your house. and you will probably be the cause of its death because of your selfish decision.
