Alligators for Rent for Children's Parties

That will keep the little brats occupied for a while

Although critics argue that mixing alligators and 8-year-olds is bad parenting, Florida alligator wrangler Bob Barrett calls it a party. And for $175, Barrett will bring a gator directly to a home.

Tampa-area parents looking for something more than a clown or pizza for their children's birthday parties now need look no further than Barrett's Alligator Attraction, which will bring an alligator straight to their backyard pool to swim with the children.

"It just took off like wildfire, Barrett said. "Everybody loves having the gator pool parties."
