Rosolie's custom snake suit, seen here briefly in a Discovery Channel video, is designed to protect the naturalist as he's

Have I ever wanted to be eaten by a snake? Ummm, NO! I get the shivers just looking at them through glass at the zoo. I saw the preview for that show Sunday night during Nik Wallenda's wire walk. I can't imagine anyone wanting to be swallowed by a giant snake, but I bet it makes for good television. Not sure whether I will watch it or not. Obviously the guy survived so I guess things turned out okay. Just when you think you've seen everything....
