He quickly put away his fear and pulled out his camera. He recorded video showing the huge alligator waiting on the porch.
"Reporting live from my home today I have a wonderful alligator right here," he tells the camera in one video, which he posted to Facebook. "This is in front of my door... It's a maaad 10 footer!"
The gator likely crawled from a pond at the golf course near to the family's home.
"People say is this real? Is this a joke? Are you pranking [me]? No I'm not, it happened," Bahadir told WTSP.
He called authorities and captured the moment a trapper lassoed the reptile before pulling it away from the front door. Bahadir can be heard laughing behind the camera as it writhes on the ground.
