Snake tales

There were stories of two snakes in the "odd news" today - one from Malaysia about a rather large snake - 7m - that had eaten a number of dogs guarding an orchard. Villagers who found the huge python did not harm it. Instead, they tied it to a tree then handed to wildlife officials. The other was about an Israeli health retreat - which could have make use of a 7m python. A newly introduced treatment is snake massage where those willing to pay the price, can have six non-venomous but very active snakes "run" loose over their bodies. Sound like something you wouldn't enjoy? The spa operator believes that once people get over any initial misgivings, they find physical contact with the snakes to be soothing. Right.
