That is what one Florida woman was selling on the Facebook page "Polk Pets Page" for the lofty price of $700, WTSP reports. The woman, Mary Thorn, said the alligator is "fully trained" and can do a few tricks.

“Fully trained alligator, does not (bite), potty trained, wears clothes, sits on (props), knows sign language as well as English. Only serious buyers. Must have class 2 license,” the ad read. WTSP reports Thorn was listed as “a pro wrestler and entertainer with Florida Championship Wrestling and studied animal science and animal behavior at Polk State College.”
