Brilliant pictures Darren, always good to hear about your dillos.
So what are the names lined up Chris?

Tappers it is very difficult to part with any of them, but as there are so very few left in captivity it important to move them on to new homes with the prospect of breeding with animals that are living single lives.
Not all are yellow some area brown colour Occassioanlly the odd male will go as a pet but the intention is to try and increase gene diversity in captivity. Sandy names that Chris chooses are always difficult to pronouce I prefer easy names like Doris, Paris Brian etc I also have to give credit to JP for the pictures thanks JP D

Fantastic Pictures Darren
 They are truly fasinating creatures. I have to say the highlight of the SW meet was seeing the dillos in the flesh, I do think they are just amazing Thanks for sharing
