Armadillos are just as common in Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, and especially Texas compared to Florida. I don’t feel like that tells the full story.

The ideal temperature for M. Leprae is between 91.4 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Those other states have more cold snaps whereas Florida is more temperate.
