Deadly pythons help tourists 'relax' in Philippines zoo

Cebu City Zoo in the Philippines is providing tourists a massage treatment that will be given by four deadly pythons.

In the therapy, four giant Burmese pythons weighing a combined 250kg slither across on a bamboo bed along with the person undergoing the treatment, Metro.co.uk reported.

To curb the hunger, the pythons which are named Michelle, Walter, EJ and Daniel, are fed around 10 chickens before the massage begins.

During the 15 minute session, the slithering motion of the snakes is considered to be therapeutic and calming.
