Snake Massages?

November 3, 2008   in Bath, Body & Spa


eBeautyDaily wrote a post asking, Would You Try a Snake Massage?. Ada Barak offers this service at Barak’s snake spa in Talmei Elazar.

Barack claims she discovered snakes’ therapeutic value after letting people hold them – saying they helped people feel better and relax. So now she uses a combination of big snakes for deep massage and little snakes for light massage. So, what do you think? Would you try a snake massage?

My answer is over my dead body. I would be paralyzed with fear; snakes are definitely number one on my list of fears (the second would be lizards)!

…Looking at those photos make me so uncomfortable! And I thought that whole fish-nibbling-dead-foot-skin spas were weird.

What’s the weirdest spa treatment you’ve ever tried/heard of? Would you want a snake massage?

My snake has gotten bigger! I’m sure she’ll do a great massage. Lol! I don’t really know how snake massage would work though. In the picture they seem to be using cornsnakes and kingsnakes that move around a lot. I find that annoying cuz I gotta keep eyeing them to not escape. And usually snakes move quite delicately. I lost my snake on the couch once cuz she slithered away without me noticing -_-
