It is illegal to keep an alligator in your bathtub.

Status: Historical / Repealed

The Law Explained

Throughout the South, baby alligators were occasionally sold as novelty pets until they rapidly outgrew their tiny tanks. Inevitably, owners would transfer the growing reptiles to their bathtubs, leading to obvious dangers and horrifying surprises for guests. Wildlife officials instituted this rule to stop people from keeping dangerous apex predators in their plumbing fixtures.
