Her neighbor Joan Nelson expressed relief at the end of the ordeal.
She said she felt safe and really happy. Now that I can go outside, I can walk on my deck and go outside. The snake, though, must have felt bad.

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. An animal's venom could cause the victim's nervous system to shut down.
One would feel immediate pain, swelling, irritation, vomiting and diarrhea if stung by a cobra's poison. A severe fever and breathing issues could cause respiratory failure.

Cobras typically do not bite. They spray their venom more often -- they're very accurate, she said.
Due to its dangers, Locke advises against keeping this snake as a pet.
Bite incidents are most common during sleep. The effects of being bitten may last for years, according to research.
