Everything went smoothly
September 15, 2019

We contacted the monkey whisperer, ounce we set our deposit we set a time and date. Everything worked out very well. When we got to the ranch he was friendly wanted to answer any questions we had, paid and went on our way. We received a healthy baby boy squirrel monkey. His age was accurate and absolutely no problems eating lol. After we got back home and settled we thought of even more questions so we texted hoping we were not "alone new parents". He replied that I can call him later on after feeding time to answer any questions. AND he did; very helpful

Baby Squirrel Monkey
September 10, 2020

I just purchased my first baby squirrel monkey form Jim. He is an awesome guy and made this so easy. Although I have had other exotic animals this is my first monkey. Jim answered all my questions and made taking this little guy home so easy. He supplied everything I needed to get started and delivered the most adorable well socialized baby i could have imagined. Our new baby is adjusting well to his new home and my children are in love with him. I am a veterinarian and have not dealt with a breeder that is more upfront honest and caring about his animals. I would totally recommend Jim Hammonds if you are interested in adding one of his animals to your family.

Jim is your guy for your new monkey. He is knowledgeable and professional. His process for purchasing are more reasonable than any of the other breeders you may be considering by far. We love our new little boy and very thankful to the monkey whisperer.

Please check this man out on the Internet and enter his name in Rip Off Reports, Pissed Off Consumer, etc. and look up his record at Pinellas County Clerk of Courts. He sells sick and dying animals. He buys wild caught imported Fennec foxes and lies that they are "just weaned' babies born here. Many dissatisfied customers and potential customers looking for exotic pets complain about rudeness, name calling, threats, etc. Even other breeders and brokers will tell you not to deal with this guy. Take your business to a reputable person with some integrity.

Thief
October 9, 2020

Jim said I could email him and send money so I do not have to travel w so much cash. I emailed him via paypal $1000 and it is confirmed he received and it is completed. Jim then said he won't use paypal and refuses to return money. He has PayPal account but refuses to open it and then blocks u so he has stolen $1500 and no monkey. Fraud is what it is called. I caution all to read all the reviews on him and
Everyone should form class action against this man.

Both myself and my husband called him to go and purchase a monkey from him. He insulted my husband insignificant F-c-. Then I called him on another phone and he told me that he had a female monkey and he could meet up with me. I called him to tell him that I could not go that day he wanted to meet, he told me to forget and loose his number. He insulted me like nobody has ever done in my entire time. He does not deserve not even a one star review.

Very rude, has not customer communication skills, only cares about money selling his monkeys, sent me insulting text messages, talked with 2 other breeders and was told to stay away, he has year long waiting list and tell you that after taking your money, he was vague with me, would not return phone calls, told me to send a deposit, I had a lot of questions, spending $3000. 00 is a large purchase and a business should respect their clients and not treat them badly. Beware of getting on his waiting list, I have heard some really bad stories and customers still do not have their monkey, has sent customers away. Told one customer that he was not running a petting zoo simply because the customer wanted to see his facility before committing to buying from him. I am just glad that I found out all the reviews of him and talked to other breeders and saw a side of him thru text messages that he sent, which called me a pest, told me to screw off, cursed and was very rude and insulting. What kind of person treats a potential customer like this? Do your homework before sending any money to any breeder.
