In this Sept. 30, 2016 photo, Miyu Nakajima, left, and Nina Arakawa, right, pet a snake at Tokyo’s Snake Center, in Tokyo.  Cat cafes where customers sip lattes while petting resident kitties are just opening their doors around the U.S. and Europe. But in Asia, where the first one opened more than a decade ago, the concept has moved well beyond felines.  At Tokyo’s Snake Center, visitors pay 1,100 yen (about $11) for a cup of coffee and a slithery friend to wind around their arm; a plate of curry bread snacks or a really big snake costs extra.
