As promised, here is a copy of the 2014 European Studbook Report for the Armadillo Lizard - Ouroborus cataphractus Zoo Population: 1.1.0 - Leipzig Zoo in Germany Private Population: 2.0.0 - Germany 3.3.0 - Germany 1.1.0 - Belgium 2.3.1 - Sweden 3.3.0 - Netherlands 3.4.4 - France Total Population: 15.15.5 It is worth noting that registration of animals is completely voluntary. If you know of Armadillo Lizards being kept at any other location, I would love to hear about it. Any questions please let me know.

Zootierliste lists a number of additional holders - Wuppertal, Plzen, Terarium Dubec (Prague), Moscow, Madrid, Blackpool and Wingham. Some of those may be out-of-date but I'm sure there must still be more than just Leipzig (I saw them at Blackpool in 2010, but can't honestly recall if I saw them when I was last there in 2013).
Thanks for this information, I will contact these collection to see if they still have this species. Registration of animals is completely voluntary on the part of the zoo but I guess all I can do is ask!!
