Armadillos are normally wild animals, so they might be aggressive and sort of shy. Were you planning on catching one or buying one from an exotic pet store? They'll have different personalities if they were bred in captivity or raised in the wild. I assume they will be like hedgehogs, which aren't very social creatures, but they look pretty cool in the house. If you have kids, it's probably not a good idea
.
Here's what this armadillo site said:
Although armadillos do not appear to show any outward signs of stress in captivity, under the wrong circumstances they can become aggressive, or succumb to the same boredom or health problems that afflict many captive animals. Also, armadillos would probably not make an ideal pet for most people to begin with. They are nocturnal, and would be sleeping when you are awake. At night, they will wake up and forage. If kept inside, this means they will wander around your home, bumping into (and knocking over!) things, and generally making noise while you are trying to sleep. Armadillos also have a musky smell that some people feel is unpleasant. Although they have been kept as pets in the past, the reviews are mixed — some people like them, others find the odor and habits of the animal to be unpleasant. In some parts of South America, they are kept as pets — pets which are occasionally eaten.

I do not know about pets, but armadillos and iguana are both good food.
That is my answer from Washington, D.C.

Possums and armadillos are nasty, stinky, spitting animals. They also carry rabies. You do not want one as a pet.
