CEBU CITY, Philippines - Snake massage is the latest attraction at the Cebu City Zoo in Barangay Kalunasan, Cebu City, Philippines.

The zoo's Burmese pythons - Michelle, Walter, EJ and Daniel- give visitors a 15-minute massage by slithering on their bodies.

After paying the entrance fee, zoo visitors will get a chance to try the snake massage.

Guests are made to lie down on a bamboo bed near the zoo's main entrance.
