Discovery Channel launches new series SWAMP BROTHERS; Visit the largest venomous snake farm in the world!
Robbie is a veteran of the '80s metal scene who is passionate about all things scaly, and Stephen is a former New York City bartender who is more comfortable hailing a cab than handling a snake. Robbie and Stephen run Glades Herp Farms, Florida's largest reptile sanctuary and exotic reptile dealership. Their farm also houses Florida's International Teaching Zoo, which is full of rare species from around the globe and brings in a constant stream of new and different animals each month. In each episode of Discovery Channel's new series SWAMP BROTHERS, the brothers put themselves on the line to protect the most unusual of creatures - from pythons and gators to wildcats and bears.
The SWAMP BROTHERS didn't set out to work with slithering, sharp-toothed animals. As a child, older brother Robbie loved two things: music and wildlife. After high school, he moved to Los Angeles to play bass in a rock band, living a life of excess on the Sunset Strip. Eventually realising his true passion was for wildlife and reptiles, Robbie moved to Florida and Glades Herp Farm, bringing with him his rock 'n' roll attitude and a penchant for living on the edge. Today, Robbie is a skilled expert in all herpetofauna ' especially crocodilians and venomous snakes. His goal is to one day take what he's learned on the farm and open his very own teaching zoo, where he can continue to teach people to conserve and respect animals.
Robbie's younger brother Stephen, is a pure city boy at heart who headed straight to the Big Apple after graduating from university. During his 14 years in New York City, Stephen held his dream job as a bartender, where drinking, telling jokes and flirting with girls were all in a day's work. When Robbie asked Stephen to help him expand the business, Stephen initially was not thrilled to leave the big city life, especially to spend all his time around dangerous animals. Overly cautious by nature, Stephen concedes that where reptiles are concerned, he always bows to the expertise of his brother.
From pythons to rogue bobcats, the brothers make it their business to track these beasts down, capture them and return them to a safe environment ' without losing life or limb in the process. Follow the exploits and misadventures of the Keszeys in the following episodes of SWAMP BROTHERS on Discovery Channel.
