I am a junior marmoseteer. As a young boy I wanted a monkey, not just any monkey, mind you. I wanted a marmoset. I actually made a blueprint in scale for a marmoset hand built cage and jungle jim. I had material cost budgeted. A Practical and real working swing and play area with real perch and rests to carefully averaged dimension for my pet marmoset. This picture is beautiful. ---
