Star news sites have recently learned that JUSTIN BIEBER is auctioning off his pet snake—the same one he brought as his “date” to the 2011 VMAs—for charity. So get out your wallets, Beliebers. It isn’t everyday you get to help a good cause and acquire something that used to belong to the Biebs!

Justin has reportedly put up his pet snake Johnson, a baby boa constrictor, for an auction. The sale of the pop star’s scaly VMAs companion will benefit a charity called Pencils of Promise, which builds schools and creates better educational opportunities in the poorest areas of the world.

According to auction site CharityBuzz.com, Johnson’s value is estimated at $1,000. The bidding opened on Friday last week and will close on November 29. There have been 10 bids so far, with the current bid at $1,750.

CharityBuzz warns interested bidders:

“Keeping a pet snake is a long term responsibility. Before making any decision about keeping one please ensure you have the money, space, knowledge, time, resources and enthusiasm required to properly care for the species you intend to keep, for the duration of it’s life.”

The site adds:

“The winning bidder will be screened upon the close of the auction. 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. Winner must sign a Personal Injury and Limited Liability release, and must guarantee necessary vet care will be provided.”

So there you go. If you’re a major Justin Bieber fan who loves exotic animals (and if you’ve got the cash for it), take a stab at the auction on CharityBuzz.com.
