Re: Epic facepalm...
That is a little expensive for something like that....
But I would imagine a snake could get sore muscles since they are primarily made up of them  Heck, there is such think as horse chiropractic.

Which makes sense when you consider working/sport horses carry a lot of weight on their backs. I don't see much benefit for a snake.

Re: Epic facepalm...
Are you sure they're for the snake? I've seen reptile massages advertised... you pay to have snakes crawl on you and 'massage' you.

Sadly, no. It was serious. And possibly a little less silly than getting your reptile massaged. I'd be a little leery of it, really. It's not like you get a lot of feedback from a snake or turtle about where they carry their tension, and I don't know a lot of reptiles that would find kneading their tissue relaxing. They could definitely end up pissed, stressed or injured by it.
Whatever makes them a buck, I guess.
