When it comes to revealing the sex of a baby, many parents opt for the classic cupcake or balloon pop. But for one adventurous couple, the reveal involved a rather unexpected guest: an alligator. Meet Sarah Greene and Tom Bailey, both skilled alligator handlers from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, who took gender reveals to a jaw-dropping level.
In a video that captured the attention of social media, Sarah and Tom decided to incorporate their family alligator, named Betty, into the celebration. Betty, a 60-year-old reptile, was hatched by Tom’s grandfather, making her a significant part of their family history.
As the video unfolds, we see Tom confidently place a hollowed watermelon in Betty’s mouth. With a swift crunch, the watermelon bursts open, spraying pink Jell-O everywhere, confirming that they are expecting a girl! Sarah had been secretly hoping for a daughter, while Tom had his own quiet moment of prayer for a boy before the reveal.
For the onlookers, the thrill of the alligator added a layer of excitement to the occasion. Despite the danger involved, Tom expressed his understanding of the animal and reassured viewers about their safety. “People think Betty was going toward our son, but that’s not the case. I know how to handle her, and I respect her,” he said, showcasing his confidence in managing the situation.
While many may find this approach extreme, it certainly makes for an unforgettable memory. If you’re looking for a different kind of baby reveal party, you might want to take notes from Sarah and Tom—or perhaps stick to something less risky.
