Same as with people: loss of digits, and facial disfigurement.

Armadillos don't *have* leprosy, they *carry* the cause of it, without contracting the disease themselves. I've known this since circa 1981-1982, courtesy of the US Army, and the numerous armadillos around Fort Hood, Texas.

Since armadillos *carry* the disease without symptoms, the correct answer is *any* armadillo can potentially infect you with Hansen's disease, and should not be handled without proper precautions...

“how can I tell if an armadillo has leprosy or not”.

They wear little bells around their necks to announce their arrival.
