One man’s weird and scary is another’s relaxing massaging session! That pretty much is what it looks like when you come across Barak’s Snake Spa in Talmei Elazar, northern Israel. If you want get a massage done by slimy snakes crawling all over our back and on your face, then you can just come up to Israel and you will not be charged anything beyond a simple $70. These non-venomous snakes are all pets of Ara Barak and the owner claims that the massage from the snakes is relieving and therapeutic.
Ara saw that some of her friends found it very relieving when they held on to her pet snakes and so she started with the idea if Snake Massage. Now you would think no one would really walk in for something like that. But it is a weird little world and there are plenty of people who will spend $70 with ease to just claim that they have tried out something exotic. So the business is booming for now.
So what if you are really not the reptilian type? Well, Ara has feet massage for you with rodents. Now, with that being said, I would much rather stick to the California and Florida king snakes, corn snakes, and milk snakes for the massages!

WOW! unbelievable danger Zone but post is very nice
Having a bad neck from an auto accident, I would have to agree with the idea. I have a 5 1/2 foot red tail boa that when I put around by neck, it takes the kinks out. It’s a great idea.
Not that I’m totally impressed, but this is more than I expected when I found a link on Digg telling that the info is quite decent. Thanks.
This is pretty cool. Those look like all corn snakes. They are comforting. I have a snow corn snake. I can’t wait until he gets bigger so I can possibly use him for a massage. lol
