Contacting the author:

I enjoy getting mail from people who like my page. I do try to answer most of the mail that is sent to me, but I don’t always have the time to do so. To help out those of you who wish to mail me, and to help myself answer mail more efficiently, I just have a few guidelines listed below.

Before you email me:

Please try the Ask Me feature and / or read the Armadillo F.A.Q. (Frequently Asked Questions) page before you mail me. You might find the answer you are looking for on your own. If the “Ask Me” or the F.A.Q. didn’t help you, try searching the page for the information you are after. I compiled this page from the questions that I seemed to get the most often from readers like you.

I reserve the right to ignore any questions I receive that are clearly answered on the website. I keep this page online because I want to, not because I have to. I do not receive any compensation for this page. I have no advertisements or sponsors. Out of respect for the time I spent building this page, please take the time to read what is here before you assume I have not addressed your question.

Email Guidelines:
  1. Please, don’t ask me if armadillos make good pets, or where you can get one. I really don’t advocate keeping wild animals as pets, as it is generally bad for the animal, the owner, or both. (Yes, armadillos are wild animals, even though they may not seem very wild.) Just in case you are still wondering: No, I do not know of any person or business that supplies armadillos.
  2. Please don’t ask me any questions with a deadline, such as “I am writing a report on armadillos and I need information, so could you please send it to me by tomorrow night?” I answer questions about armadillos in my spare time. I am not on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If you are counting on my answer, you may need to be patient until I have time to do so.
  3. Please, send me pictures you have taken! I can always use more pictures of armadillos. I’m especially interested in photos of armadillos not found in the US, which means any of them except the nine-banded variety. If you didn’t take the picture, I’m not allowed to accept it, because that would be copyright infringement.

Thank you in advance for bearing with me. I may take a while to respond, but I will try to answer any questions you may have.
