Plot Synopsis

Brothers Robbie and Stephen Keszey run Glades Herp Farm, one of the most unique family businesses in the country, where they work with wild and dangerous animals deep in the swamps of Florida and maintain the largest venomous snake breeding farm in the world. In each 30-minute episode, these brothers put themselves in danger to protect all of nature's creatures, whether they're saving an alligator's eggs before they're threatened by fire ants and raccoons or protecting their own animals when 300-pound wild hogs invade their farm. Before realizing his passion for wildlife, Robbie led the wild life as an 80s rock musician in Los Angeles, but he eventually moved to Florida to pursue his dream of working with reptiles. Robbie recently convinced Stephen to give up his bartending job in New York City and help him expand his business, but Stephen still has a lot to learn -- early in the series Stephen learns how to tell the difference between a male and female gator.
