Anywhere you can find one really

They talk a big game but it's seriously rare to actually get bit by one. They just kinda stiffen up and let the shit happen.

Maine Wildlife Park in Gray is probably the closest you're gonna get, but the odds of them letting you hold one is probably zero

This is a really great place. It's only $10, it's really quiet most of the time, and you can see local rescued animals that can't live in the wild anymore. I don't remember them having a possum, but there is an albino raccoon.

I mean.... if they're at a sanctuary the main goal is rehab and release. This means NOT getting them used to human touch and interaction. They're wild animals. Why do you need to pet one so bad?

Put the little grease try from under your grill out on the deck at night. Do this for 3 days in a row. On the 5th day, ye shall hold an opossum in your hands. Or, he shall hold your hand in his sharp little teeff.
