After a long, hard day what sounds better than a nice relaxing massage … from three 6-foot-long pythons?
In Indonesia, that's exactly what one massage parlor is offering for the low price of only $43, according to Yahoo News. The 90-minute treatment involves allowing the three snakes to slither on a person's body, which is probably the least-relaxing way to relax that I can possibly think of.
The snakes mouths are taped shut during the massage, and there are staff members present to prod them on and make sure they don't strangle clients and slurp them down for lunch.
The parlor also offers other unusual services: a massage from a guy in a gorilla suit and a bath in a tub of beer, the latter of which must be a popular way to unwind after all the other traumatizing experiences people have at this place.
