Something Indy would NEVER go for. COMMENTARY By Brian Tracey Business Editor MSNBC
Hold the Dead Sea salts and exotic oils. An Israeli health and beauty spa has introduced a new treatment to its menu — snake massage.
For about $70, clients at Ada Barak's spa in northern 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'm actually afraid of snakes, but the therapeutic effects are really good," customer Liz Cohen told Reuters as Barak let the snakes loose on her body.
Barak uses California and Florida king snakes, corn snakes and milk snakes in her treatments, which she said were inspired by her belief that once people get over any initial misgivings, they find physical contact with the creatures to be soothing.
Sorry, but we're holding out for the Spider Shiatsu.www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPTnw146eYkCheers, John

$70 bucks to let snakes crawl all over you? I don't get it, when Fear Factor used to be on TV, they would actually give you a chance to WIN money by letting creepy, nasty things crawl on you. If I were an Israeli massage therapist, I'd be pretty pissed if I lost my job to a bunch of snakes. ;D

I'm not exactly afraid of snakes, not that I like them much either, but anyway...I think I'll pass. But it is kind of neat to read about how other cultures splurge their disposable income. Here in the US, our rich and famous pay big bucks to have someone slice into their bodies or inject them with strange things. Which one is really more horrendous when you think about it?
