The Discovery channel says it will air a show in which American explorer and author Paul Rosolie gets eaten alive by an anaconda.
The network says Rosolie, 30, of New Jersey, wears a "snake-proof suit" as he enters the belly of the large snake found in the western Amazon.
Discovery has already received some criticism for the show, with some concerned about the snake.
On Twitter, Rosolie said he "would never hurt a living thing. But you'll have to watch #EatenAlive to find out how it goes down."
He also tweeted, "(People) say snakes only eat prey that is dead. In my experience, they (definitely) eat things alive."
In an interview with Monga Bay earlier this year, Rosolie said he started working at an Amazon research station when he was 18 and knew that the jungle was where he belonged.
The show, Eaten Alive, is set to air on Discovery next month.
