Never mind the party favors, if you want your kids’ birthday party to really standout, you might want to hire a party gator.

That’s right, Tampa, Florida businessman Bob Barrett is making birthday parties and little more dangerous by offering to bring an alligator to your backyard pool to swim with the birthday boy or girl and their friends for $175.

Barrett says that it’s all perfectly safe because he tapes the baby gator’s jaws shut before party time and they’re muscles aren’t strong enough to break the tape, so there’s little risk of one of the partygoers getting bitten.
