I don't know about other States but in Florida they are not protected. This link will explain. http://www.myfwc.com/WILDLIFEHABITATS/SpeciesInfo_Armadillo.htm It is lawful for a landowner to live-trap or humanely destroy nuisance armadillos although they are difficult to capture with live traps. Armadillos are not considered native to Florida and are, therefore, illegal to transport and release.
