Python gives neck massages at German salon

A hairdresser in Germany is drawing customers to his salon with the hire of an unusual employee — a 13-year-old python that gives neck massages. Frank Doehlen, proprietor of the Haar Mode Team salon in Dresden, said he started using the 13-year-old ball python, Monty, to give massages to customers after being inspired by a massage technique he witnessed on a trip to South Africa. Doehlen said Monty’s services are now in such high demand that he offers the snake massages to customers two days a week. He said the 4-foot-long snake’s body is 90 percent muscle, making him an ideal masseur.
