The 13-year-old daughter of actors Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith is reportedly so 'obsessed' with snakes she has as many as 10.
A source told US Weekly:
"Willow is obsessed with snakes, and that Jaden cuddles with them in bed. "She has 10 sleeping in her room and some aren't in cages.”
Apparently, the whole family adore the serpents. Her brother Jaden refers to his sister's pets as his "girlfriends," and "They slither into his bed and curl up with him.”
Last year, their mum, Jada Pinkett Smith, explained why she allowed the reptiles into the home.
"I've always loved snakes but was afraid of them," she told Redbook magazine. "But Willow had wanted this one snake forever. She'd go into the pet store and pick it up and wrap it around her. I'd never touched a snake before, and I put out my hand, and Beauty [mimics the snake slithering up her arm]. I've been in love with her ever since. I said to Willow, 'You did Mommy a big favor. You helped me overcome a fear.'"
Their father, Will Smith, doesn't mind the creatures, either. He told Ellen DeGeneneres last May:
"I'm good with snakes," he said. "Willow has a boa constrictor… but mice? Whew!"
