North Raleigh venomous zebra cobra hunt is over after glue trap takes care of the problem.
from web site
Despite the efforts of animal control officers and law enforcement, a glue trap was ultimately deployed to capture a venomous zebra cobra on a north Raleigh porch on Wednesday, ending an eventful 48-hour period that attracted attention throughout North Carolina.
It was taken to a safer location to be fully cleaned after it was guided into the bucket and guided out.
As WRAL's cameras captured it earlier in the day, a striped snake slithered out of the siding of a house on Sandringham Drive and onto a porch. A hood was visible wherever it turned its head.
Camera crews had to be redirected after Animal Control officers confirmed it was a snake before moving in to try to capture it.
This same residence had called 911 early Tuesday, sparking the search.

The ordeal is over at last, said neighbor Joan Nelson.
My feeling of security has improved, she said. After spending time on my deck, I feel like I can go outside now. The snake, though, must have felt bad.
There is a striped snake in the yard of a north Raleigh neighborhood where a zebra cobra has gone missing.
Even a morning walk with your dog becomes dangerous due to the snake's ability to spit up to nine feet and be as fast as a zebra cobra. Consequently, the African Snakebite Institute says the snake is very dangerous. A victim's nervous system could be shut down by the venom.
Someone who is bitten by the poison of a cobra would feel pain, swelling, gastrointestinal irritation, vomiting, and diarrhea. In the next few hours, a heavy fever would occur, as well as respiratory difficulty.

There is no evidence that this species of cobra bites. Venom is more likely to be sprayed by them, since their venom hits straight for the eye since they are so accurate.
Despite the risks associated with this snake, Locke does not recommend it as a pet.
Bite incidents are most common during sleep. The effects of being bitten may last for years, according to research.
