Hold the Dead Sea salts and tea-tree oil. An Israeli health and beauty spa has introduced a new treatment to its menu -- snake massage.
For 300 shekels (35 pounds), clients at Ada Barak's spa in Israel can add a wild twist to their treatment by having six non-venomous but very lively serpents slither and hiss a path across their aching muscles and stiff joints.
I wouldn't like to have it for free. How about you?

I can't imagine it would be very helpful. I've owned snakes, and my burmese python used to slither all over me all of the time. It was uncomfortable and annoying, not ease for my aching muscles. But he was sixteen feet long and weighed a whole lot. If they use smaller snakes, maybe it would do some good.
I'd try it at least.

Nice to learn. I was thinking to have small panter as a pet, maybe some day when I am ready to buy small farm.
I guess you are right. When animals are not hungry, total different story:)

It's so nice to find someone to defend snakes on here! Although, I am still a little freaked out by the idea of a burmese python. I just have a little ball python, and he actually feels pretty good when he's wrapped around my arms or legs!

For free! No! They could not pay me enough money to do it. I don't do snakes, they are disgusting. they make my skon crawl.
And somebody thinks that people would want a snake massage...they are definitely not from my world.

Yeah, I would try it for free, but I do not want to do it even if the snakes are not dangerous.

No way, I can not stand these creatures, they are just too creepy for me. Maybe because I saw one bite a Hippee in his eye, back in the sixties, when Hippees would hang out in city parks to socialize. The guy made a mistake of walking past a big dog. The dog did not like this big snake around his neck.

I personaly would say no. My husband is not afraid of them and he would do it. He was accustomed to releasing them back into the safety of their own environments and he probaly wouldnt think a thing of it.

do you mean real snakes? oh no my God I would never have such a treatment...I hate snakesssssssss
I saw to a man playing with a snake when I came and visited Tunisia. It was disgusting and I was afraid of the snake starting to move towards me and the public during the whole show...
I've never heard of such massage before and I hope they would never come out with this idea in my beauty center or I'll escape in order not to meet this awful animals...
and think that I love massages so much because after a massage I feel like being younger and younger...I tried the chocolate massage, the honey massage and my favourite ..the massage with hot stones...but I am not trying the snake massage!!!no for God's sake!
