Snake Massage

We don’t know how wellness-related this method can be, but we assume it’s not very much. People that would happily try this “treatment” can be either adrenaline junkies or people who just want to conquer their fear of snakes.

The snakes, obviously, need to be well fed before the process begins, so the human menu can be out of the question.
