Snake Therapy
I've been calling handling a snake "therapy" or "getting a fix" since we got our first over a year ago. But my husband calls it an an addiction.
Guess we're not the only ones! My mom brought me this article. I googled it and found it for you all. Turns out there are quite a few results on google for snake therapy!!!
Enjoy!

I couldn't figure out why she would let a snake that just ate be handled that way....???
I had this fantasy about starting a snake therapy thing - but not massage, just handling and chilling and getting into the feel of their skin and strong muscles on your hands/arms/lap (fully dressed, mind you!). But I'm not sure I'm that adventurous. I'd rather do snake education presentations and just let people handle the snake as a bonus so they buy into snakes being beneficial and never kill them just for being snakes! Geesh. Those people bug me. OK, I'll stop off my soap box now.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Re: Snake Therapy
I think that the snake therapy thing has a lot of potential. I find it extremely relaxing to handle them. It is very difficult for me to relax at all (always on the go), but you have no choice when handling a snake. But I think educating society snakes is probably a step needed before 'snake spas'...lol. But, who knows? Maybe it'll be like Starbuck's...

Re: Snake Therapy
If I had the room, I so would start one....but I'm not sure how that would go over up here. Around here snakes are killed on sight. I hate these jerks. I almost got hit by a car moving a bull out of the road one day last summer. I think I need a few more snakes before I get the spa going, Free spa, any donations? LOL
