Where do I get a permit for an exotic pet? Like I want a pygmy marmoset but I need a permit in IL. Where do I get this permit?

Once I get the finances to provide everything one will need I plan on buying one and I'm not sure where to get started... Any tips?

Yes like real animal lovers I will do my research from top to bottom and not just get one because they're adorable like most people will...

I've found "legit" sites where you can purchase exotic animals such as Armadillos but I'm not sure if you should buy online and I know for a fact I don't live by any breeders at the moment (I LEGIT NEED TIPS ON WHERE TO BUY a baby ONE Well after its been nursed of course because I would never take an animal away from its mother at birth)

-I'm not sure if you can but I think I can also buy from a zoo or take in from a rescue
-I'll get my permit

And, I'm aware of the Leprosy thing AKA "Hansen's disease" but should I be worried for that when I finally purchase one? I've researched some of that as well and it said it shouldn't be an issue especially if you're buying a captive-bred one and leprosy isn't really a common issue anymore and if one has it there is finally a cure so no worries I guess ( MORE INSIGHT ON THIS LAST PART AS WELL) Does it mainly apply to the wild armored ones?

But where do you buy them? How do you buy them? I’ve been doing research on an exotic pet I want to get for about a year but where do you find a dealer for them?
