This may be of interest to some, ever thought what it would be like to be eaten by a snake? Well tonight at 9 on discovery channel there is a program where a guy wears a suit and let's an anaconda swallow him (not all the way obviously).
Here is a bit of a report on it

I am glad that the idiot did not succeed in being swallowed as to remove him would only ever end badly for the snake.

I really wish that the media would start to portray snakes in a more positive manner.

There is an hour of my life I won't get back...... Not a good program at all. Not sure what I really expected but that was certainly not it. The conservation message was virtually non existent and the so called science was abysmal.
For those that didn't see it was just a team trying to find the worlds largest anaconda at 30 ish feet (yer right) and failing (no surprise there) and then a set up for TV scene with a man in a poor iron man suit ****ing off the snake to make it constrict him with just one force sensor on the suit which strangely enough the snake didn't coil over properly so minimal data was recorded. Well done discovery, well done............

I haven't watched it, and have no intention to... It made me angry that they should even try something like that. Let's say the snake would partially succeed - then what? Would they start pulling the human out and seriously damage the snake - and if they couldn't 't - kill the snake?

And what would have that achieved? Convincing the general public, that are already prejudiced towards snakes, that snakes really ARE man eaters? Typical media sensationalism... Makes me so angry - nothing to do with science!

I have recorded it but couldn't help watching the end part. I'm still not sure what was actually happening and what was dramatic camera angles and 'artistic licence'. Im not sure how he expected to be 'Eaten Alive'. If he's such a big shot herper then he should know that anacondas are constrictors and therefore kill their prey by constricting them before eating them. What did he expect?!! And how exactly has this got us discussing the plight of the Amazon??

I really liked this article about it - http://thereptilereport.com/brians-corner-eaten-alive/
