It is unlawful to keep an alligator in your bathtub.

Status: Historical / Repealed

The Law Explained

While keeping native wildlife is generally strictly regulated, urban legends and vague interpretations of state wildlife possession laws birthed the notion that bathtubs are specifically off-limits for alligators. Historically, early 1900s roadside attractions and eccentric citizens sometimes housed exotic pets in residential plumbing. Today, state game and fish regulations broadly prohibit keeping dangerous wildlife in residential enclosures.
