Potentially deadly wildlife isn't usually something you find at a kids pool party, but an alligator handler in Florida said he will let your children swim and hang out with the state's apex predator for a price.

Bob Barrett, owner of Alligator Attractions in Johns Pass Village, told Bay News 9 the he starts out every party he hosts with a course in gator safety, which allows young partygoers a chance to warm up to the reptile.

"You say, 'Well, we're gonna have a party. They go, 'That's nice.' But you say, 'We're going to have a pool party with a gator.' They go, 'What?' Everybody comes," Barrett said.

Customer Debbie Rubenstein told the TV station that she has used the service multiple times.

"Nobody believed that we'd have actual gators in the pool," she said.

According to Barrett, the pool party idea came to him as a way to keep his handling business afloat during slow tourism months at his attraction.

He told Bay News 9 that he checked area laws to see if bringing alligators with their mouths tapped shut to local homes was legal, and said he could not find any indication that it was not.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said it is investigating Barrett's business and its impact on the animals.

There was no word on what Barrett charges to frolic with a man-eater.
