As
kids, David Castilla and
his older brother Gil loved
everything about snakes and reptiles.
Growing up in Tampa, Florida, the boys' passion eventually led to jobs working
with snakes at a local theme park. It
was there that they were first exposed to alligators. The brothers eventually turned their love
for the large reptiles into a traveling show.
VPR's Nina Keck caught up with David Castilla performing his midday alligator show at the Vermont State Fair.
