Where else but the Holy Land can you go to spa to have a snake massage.
“The treatment consists of six non-venomous snakes massaging the client’s aching muscles and joints.
Ada Barak’s snake spa, in Talmei Elazar, northern Israel, uses California and Florida king snakes, corn snakes and milk snakes for the massages, which cost £40 ($70).
