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.
