Actor BILLY BOB THORNTON was forced to call in an exterminator of a different kind when he bought SLASH’s old home in Los Angeles – because he feared the snake-loving rocker had left behind one of his many pet reptiles.
The Bad Santa star purchased the mansion the guitar hero nicknamed ‘The Snake Pit’ a decade ago and confesses he insisted on having the property searched for remaining lizard eggs just in case.
He says, “Slash is into reptiles. I don’t mind snakes, I grew up in Arkansas, we had snakes everywhere. But I don’t like snakes with legs, any kind of dinosaur-looking thing, like a komodo dragon. My little girl, Bella, who’s six, she’s way into lizards and dinosaurs and she thinks Slash is amazing, she’s like, ‘I don’t understand why you don’t like them.’
“We actually had a guy come in and check there were no lizard eggs, like most people have a termite guy come in, we had a guy monitor for lizard eggs!”
