Justin Bieber now has one fewer snake to hold on a daily basis — because the legless reptile-turned-fashion accessory he carried around at the VMAs last year has found a new home … in a Minnesota zoo .
A rep for the Rad Zoo in Owatonna, MN tells TMZ, they received the small boa constrictor — aptly named “Johnson” — as a gift from a good Samaritan … who purchased the snake at an auction following the MTV award ceremony.
According to the rep, the benefactor wanted Johnson to have a good home … and thought Rad would be the perfect place.
It was gathered that the snake has only been at the zoo for a week — but once it gets settled in, zookeepers plan to give it a special sign indicating its Bieberific claim to fame.
