Hough — who placed fourth with Menounos on Dancing With the Stars — uploaded an Instagram photo of himself with one of the animals. “Britney Spears forgot her snake,” he wrote, referencing the pop star’s infamous 2001 MTV Video Music Awards performance of “I’m a Slave 4 U.”

Later in the evening, Hough and Menounos “danced like they were competing on the show,” another insider says. “The whole party stopped and cheered them on.”

“The crowd also went crazy when “Tell It to My Heart” came on,” the insider adds. Menonous (clad in colorful smocked alice + olivia shorts) ran to the deejay booth, grabbed a microphone and “pulled Taylor Dayne onto a table and the two of them serenaded the entire party. It was pretty amazing!”
