    Snake massage?
    I thought this was kind of unusual, anyone else see this yet?

    Weeeeird! Someone needs to e-mail her and let her know that the snakes will keep their dinner down better if she gives them a couple days off after eating. :rolleyes:

    I know one of my favorite things to do with Kisasa once she got some real weight on her was to have her draped over my shoulders....her small movements and shifting was indeed very massage-like and mostly very relaxing. (The only thing not relaxing about it was always having to stay aware of where her head was so she didn't crawl off into trouble :P )

    EDIT: One more thought...I wonder how much warning that lady gives that the snakes CAN bite?!?

    I just get a bad feeling about that all around. I'm imagining the snakes living in bad conditions, all housed together. And of course the regurge is an issue. There's no reason for that if someone knows what they're doing. :rolleyes:

    But I have to agree it's very soothing. I let my biggest one curl up on my neck and when she moves around it feels like a massage. Until they bite you... :P (Reference to my recent induction to bite club. ;))

    I agree that I don't trust this lady's husbandry.

    I love the snake massage from my snake though!!! It is a most unexpected, but welcome bonus to an already great "hobby."

    well that's unique lol That seems quite labor intensive to keep the snakes on there.

    I'd have to agree with this. Just looks a little fishy

    But I do love to get massaged by my snakes :)

    I know I certainly feel relaxed when I let my snakes crawl all over me. But you're right about the husbandry issues. The regurge should never happen and some of those snakes had pretty bad sheds. And the way she just plops them on and then pulls them apart to untangle them made me a little apprehensive. (thats all in the video in case anyone missed it)

    I wonder if she charges her customers extra if the snakes poop on them? That'd be some highly organic massage oil... :D:D:D
