Thought this was cool but also could be stressful for the animals if not done properly.

They've been around awhile.

I think this is the same one I saw a different article about quite a while back.

Speaking from my experience (getting a massage), I think the actual "massage" would be underwhelming, since snakes aren't there for the human, just doing
their thing. This is really all about the "novelty"... and hopefully no one panics & startles a snake into biting during their session. Not likely but could happen-
I wonder if they have insurance, or have patrons sign waivers?

I dunno. Ball Pythons make for great neck messages.

I would bet they would have patrons sign waivers acknowledging the small amount of risk involved, knowing these snakes are living beings with minds of their own, and the ability to feel threatened and scared by people.
