Britney Spears has snake phobia

Pop star Britney Spears says she has a huge snake phobia even though she performed with the reptile at one of her concerts 15 years ago.

The 34-year-old singer, who performed at the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards with a huge albino python draped over her shoulders, revealed that she feared the snakes back then and still does, reported FemaleFirst.

"I think it was great but I wouldn't do that now. Never. I'm totally scared of snakes but I was completely fearless. It was cool.

"I was (scared of snakes back then), but I was just so excited that I was like, 'Whatever'," she said.
