Unwind, Cover Yourself in Snakes!

An uber-creepy reptilian spa treatment that uses snakes as masseurs. Yikes. Do you have to tip each one of them? 

Forget "Snakes on a Plane" ... how about snakes on a massage table? The latest trend in relaxation is snake massages. For about 80 bucks you can have ten non-venomous snakes slither over your face and body. Ada Barak, the originator of the unique massage describes it as, "An unbelievably relaxing experience."  Yeah, about as relaxing as that shower scene in "Psycho."

Barak admits it's a strange sensation at first. "In the beginning of the massage the snakes are cold but they warm up with the body," she explains. According to many of Barak's regular clients, the benefits outweigh the creep-out factor. Regulars say the snakes help ease migraines and soothe sore muscles.

Would you ever try this creepy crawly way to relax?

This is GROSS! What does the therapist do if one or more of those snakes bite the person? Do they treat them or do they die?!!!

It looks relaxing to me. I would love to try it.

As a snake owner I can attest to how peaceful snakes really are, and i could see how a massage would be fun.

Dorothy, read the story they are not venomous. And most snake bites dont hurt, usually snake rarely bite, unless you smell like mouse, and act like one too!
