Can you take cameras in with the monkeys?

We booked with Daniel Johnson's tour directly.  I'm reading about how the monkeys take everything and not to take anything into the cage with you.  Can you take your phone/camera in, or should I take pictures from outside the cage?

If the monkeys are in cages, take pictures from outside. Don't even wear a hat or cap inside the cage.  And bring handiwipes or baby wipes, never know when these critters will have an urge to go. Happens more than you think.

Thanks.  Good idea on the wipes.  Didn't think of that.  And it seems like we should wear old clothes.  I saw on one of the YouTube videos where a parrot put a hole in a man's shirt.

We held the monkeys and the birds, no problems at all. They were picking at the top of a baseball cap but no other worries. We had a camera inside the cages with us and got some great pictures. Like this one of me when the monkey hopped on my shoulder from behind, I was only planning to take the pictures so was a bit surprised. They monkeys were so much fun. Enjoy!

I am very surprised they let you take your sunglasses and hats in.  When we went with Daniel Johnson's in March we had to leave everything outside except cameras.  Cameras were fine because you are holding it in your hand.  They will pick pockets!  lol

How about those of us who have to wear glasses?  Will they take the glasses right off our faces?

It's happened...... I'd take my glasses off if at all possible but that's just me..
