In this 1-hour special, you'll see a week in the field with a group of herpetology fanatics, as we take a deep dive into the South Florida wilderness. Lifelong friends Jesse and Harvey will show you snakes, lizards, turtles, and crocs, both harmless and deadly, native and invasive, endangered and abundant, as they take their own sons on an adventure of a lifetime.
