Python Massage----why not?
I'm gonna add this to my medical practice...I wonder if covered by Obamacare?
Spa claims ‘python massage’ induces fear in order to boost metabolism
Published October 30, 2013 | FoxNews.com
Customers at a spa in Bali, Indonesia, can now opt for a new, slithery type of treatment: a “python massage.”
Offered at the Bali Heritage and Reflexology Spa, the procedure requires customers to lie on their stomach as a python slithers along their back, Medical Daily reported. The spa maintains there’s no reason to fear being eaten mid-massage, as customers are accompanied by two staff members throughout the process and all pythons are fed 30 minutes before the treatment begins.
The spa says that the treatment offers patients’ a more intense massage – in addition to triggering adrenaline, which they say could help boost metabolism.
While massages are known to be associated with many health benefits, the benefits of a python massage are unclear. However, previous research has indicated that a surge in adrenaline may help trigger certain metabolic processes, Medical Daily reported.
Another potential benefit? The feeling of relief once the massage is over.

Never hurts to give it a try. I would be more concerned with being regurged on than being eaten!

Re: Python Massage----why not?
Wouldn't the snake still be in feeding mode? It'd be better to feed the snake a few days before

Re: Python Massage----why not?
What makes it worst is if the snake did regurgitate with it mouth tape shut it would chock on it own vomit because there be know where for it to go.

Re: Python Massage----why not?
I guess the snakes should be more afraid of the spa than the customers
