Friday, 09/05/08 7:55am and 7:55am
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.
