Gaia Diuguid shows just how brave she is by letting a ball python be placed around her neck during a presentation by Wild Times Exotics at the Carrollton Public Library Thursday afternoon. Around 90 children and adults attended the very informative event which presented some very unique animals for the children to not only see and learn about but also have the opportunity to pet. From the apprehensive look on her face, Gaia is probably wondering if she should have thought twice before volunteering to do this demonstration. (Carmen Ensinger/Greene Prairie Press)
