Anaconda used in Eaten Alive stunt was shipped in when production team findout it was TOO SMALL to eat a grown man

The plan was for naturalist Paul Rosolie to be eaten whole by a 25-foot-long snake while wearing a protective suit, but no such anaconda could be found, so they settled for a 20-foot critter. But to the chagrin of Discovery Channel's viewers, the snake used in the stunt barely nibbled on the top of Rosolie's helmet before he pulled the plug on the dangerous experiment for fear that the snake would break his arm. During a live Q&A session on Facebook Monday afternoon, Rosolie admitted that 'the hype around the show was misleading.'
