Justin Bieber Wants You to Buy His Little Snake

It's almost impossible to say this with a straight face, but Justin Bieber is auctioning off his little baby snake to the lucky girl or guy who is willing to pay the most for it.

There's no guarantees on how long the little guy will last (hopefully longer than half a minute), but snakes like Bieber's Johnson (that's the snake's name, we swear) can sometimes last up to 20 years if they are treated right.

The small snake in question is the baby boa constrictor Bieber brought to the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards, and all of the proceeds for the auction will go to the charity "Pencils of Promise." No we didn't make that up.

Pencils of Promise is one of the charities the recently scandal-ridden pop artist has partnered up with as part of his "Believer" charity drive.

According to MTV News, "Bidding is now under way over on the Charity Buzz website (Johnson is currently going for $175, FYI) and closes November 29."

The website does warn you that Bieber will only give you his snake if you agree to treat it nicely:

"The welfare of this snake is the sole responsibility of the adopter ... the adopter agrees to give the snake good care, which includes quality premium food, fresh water, sanitation and grooming, clean and secure indoor housing, clean and secure outdoor housing and overall safety."

How much would you pay for Bieber's baby snake?
