At a pet shop I happened upon an Armadillo Lizard (AKA Armadillo Girdled Lizard) and found it fascinating. I was wondering if any of you fellow lizard lovers happened to own one or know if they make a good pet. Sadly, the pet store owner couldn't even tell me proper temps or diet.
Apparently they put their tail in their mouth and ball up with spines on the outside as a defense.

They are much smaller than beardies, but the one I handled seemed to enjoy being handled.
