Robbie and Stephen Keszey, an unlikely pair of brothers who run one of the most unique family businesses in North America – Glades Herp Farm – working with wild and dangerous animals deep in the swamps of Florida. Premiering Thursday, Feb. 21 at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT on Animal Planet, each episode stars Robbie, a veteran of the ‘80s metal scene who’s passionate about all things scaly; and Stephen, a former New York City bartender who’s more comfortable hailing a cab than handling a snake! The SWAMP BROTHERS put themselves on the line to protect the most unusual of creatures – from pythons and gators, to wildcats and bears.
