Drew Barrymore Gained a 'Very Nice' Pet Snake After Her Daughter Won it in a Raffle (Exclusive)

The mom-of-two opened up about the seven pets she and her daughters keep in their N.Y.C. apartment

In the midst of being an actress, talk-show host, and mom, Drew Barrymore has found room in her home — and heart — for a few critters.

Though the majority of her seven pets are four-legged and furry, including her three cats and 14-year-old dog Douglas, Barrymore, 49, and her two daughters Olive, 11, and Frankie, 10, also have one fish, a bearded dragon named Jeremy and a snake with a very fitting name.

"Would you like to know the snake's name?" Barrymore asks in a recent chat with PEOPLE about her new partnership with Ring and their Ring Pet Portraits campaign.

"Ssss-Cecil," Barrymore hisses, though she admits that the pet "remained nameless" for a while as she got used to being a snake mom.

"Cecil's actually very nice," Barrymore says. "I'm not afraid of snakes at all. I just was like, 'Really, we added a snake into the mix now? This has just gone too far.'"

Cecil came into the family's lives after Olive brought the snake home from school, having won the reptile in a raffle.

"I didn't know she had entered," Barrymore says of the surprise.

While it took some time, Barrymore is now settled into life with her less conventional pets, telling PEOPLE that she's "very obsessed with" their bearded dragon.

"[I] never knew I would have this kind of relationship with a two-foot lizard," she says. "That one I didn't see coming. I'm single, and I'm like, 'Oh, my god. I'm the single animal lady with two kids.' I think I actually wear the badge really proudly."

Barrymore has teamed up with Ring as they kick off their latest initiative that encourages other pet parents to share their favorite moments captured on their Ring cameras in an effort to raise money for the ASPCA and local animal shelters. The company has committed to making a donation for every post shared on Instagram or TikTok with the hashtag #RingPets now through June 14.

Ring has pledged $10 per post up to $100,000 in support of the ASPCA and up to an additional $400,000 for local animal shelters.

"We've always just been hanging hard together," she says of the teenage dog.
