vervet monkey (Chlorocebus pygerythrus) ✸ male ✸ 13cm

this little guy was a purchase from another collector who was downsizing their collection, so I don't know much about him! he was legally obtained and came with a CITES permit, but that's about it!

there are some interesting marks on his teeth that make me wonder if he was an older fella or if his processing just wasn't very good - I want to say it was a questionable cleaning process just due to the flaking on the teeth honestly, but he does have some interesting pathology going on all the same!
