Wilson Daggett, 6, is draped Sunday with Penelope, a Colombian red tail boa constrictor, by snake owner Rick Nero, as Casey Stutts of Cherish Every Moment Photography takes a photograph at the Maine Reptile Expo at the Lewiston Armory. Daggett has been researching how to care for snakes as a home-school project and planned to leave the expo with his own snake. He says he will keep his snake in an enclosure and let it out occasionally. Andree Kehn/Sun Journal
Comments are not available on this story. Read more about why we allow commenting on some stories and not on others.
We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It’s a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
