Ever since that run-in with Adam and Eve, snakes have gotten a bad rap in the Holy Land.
But at Ada Barak's spa in northern Israel, slithering reptiles don't give people the creeps. They give deep-tissue massages.

Barak figured out several years ago that heavy king and corn snakes produce a relaxing kneading sensation. For years, she's been entertaining guests at her farm where she cultivates rodent-eating carnivorous plants. Strangely, she found a sideline that's even more bizarre. )

"People either like it a lot or they hate it," she tells Time magazine.

For $80, a tangle of creepy-crawlies can wriggle their way up your spine and across your face, and you can decide.

Yeah, heard about this awhile ago. Not surprising really considering in some cultures snakes are considered symbols of renewal and healing (why do you think the symbol used in medicine is two snakes?)

LOL!,.....yeah, I commented about that nonsense here on the forums a couple weeks ago. For $80 bucks the stupid customer should be able to take at least one pair of them home when they leave.

But actually, if they are really THAT stupid to begin with, they wouldn't even know(or care) how to take proper care of them anyway though..LOL!

I wonder if the client would get reimbused if a snake took a "dump" on somebody?, but then again, they would certainly deserve it in my opinion! I guess they could do this with it if it happened for another additional fee..LMAO!
