There are many things people do after a serious breakup, like cutting their hair or getting tattoos. They can serve as a form of catharsis, and help bring healing and closure. It can also be a sense of empowerment and a way to reclaim their identity.

As for what the snake can represent, it can be a way for Britney to symbolize her transformation and renewal, as snakes shed their skin, signifying personal growth or significant life changes. Snakes also embody protection against negativity or evil forces in some cultures, along with fertility, balance, and wisdom.
