Are you afraid of slithering snakes but also in urgent need of a haircut? Well one hair salon in Germany may be the perfect place for you to kill two birds with one stone. Dresden hair salon 'Haar-Mode-Team' has a unique answer for customer anxiety and tension before their hair cut - a pulsating neck massage from snake called Python Monty which is not recommended for people with ophiophobia, or fear of snakes. The 13 year old reptile sits snugly around customer's throats as hairdresser Falk Dohler gets to work with his scissors. Of course, anyone who has seen the cartoon version of the Jungle Book knows that pythons like Kaa constrict their muscular bodies around their prey to suffocate it. Wrapped around the neck, Python Monty is in prime position to cut off airflow, but has been trained to suppress his killer instincts and give relaxing massages instead. Even snakes can get tuckered out, and we certainly wouldn't want Python Monty to be the least bit stressed before letting him coil up around our necks. If you want a special snake massage before your haircut at Haar Mode Team, you need to make an appointment with Python Monty weeks in advance. A 30 minute session with Monty costs €35, or about $38.
Excitement over the U.S. presidential race has hit China, where a factory producing masks of the candidates is betting on a victory for Republican Donald Trump.
