North Carolina. Following hours of consultation and preparation by Raleigh police and animal control officers, a glue trap captured a venomous zebra cobra on a north Raleigh porch on Wednesday, bowing out a nearly 48-hour ordeal that gained national attention.
Cobras were placed inside red buckets and taken to a safe location so the glue could be removed completely from their bodies.
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. When it lifted its head to look around, the top of its hood was visible.
After confirming it was the snake, Animal Control officers moved the camera crews back before moving in to capture it.
A 911 call from the same location prompted the search early Tuesday morning.

Neighbor Joan Nelson said the ordeal was over.
She said she feels much safer now and is very happy. After this experience, I feel like I can go outside, walk on the deck, or even go for a jog. Despite this, I feel sorry for the snake.
There is a striped snake in the yard of a north Raleigh neighborhood where a zebra cobra has gone missing.
The snake, a zebra cobra, can spit up to 9 feet and is faster than most snakes, making even a morning walk with the dog scary. The African Snakebite Institute reports that this snake is very dangerous. It is possible for the venom to cause a victim's nervous system to shut down.
A person hit by the poison would experience pain, swelling, irritation, vomiting, and diarrhea. A high fever and breathing difficulties would follow, which could lead to respiratory failure.
At Avian and Exotic Animal Care, veterinarian Salina Locke treats all kinds of pets.
The cobra in this species usually does not bite. They spray their venom more often -- they're very accurate, she said.
Despite the risks involved, Locke doesn't recommend buying this snake for a pet.
Sleeping people are more likely to be bitten. Bite victims may suffer health problems for years, research reveals.
In the afternoon of Tuesday, police searched a home near the street where the cobra was last spotted, at 6917 Chamonix Place.
A police officer visited that home four times in March for an animal issue. In the afternoon, the zebra cobra was spotted on a porch half a mile away.
There are county records showing that Keith and Rebecca Gifford live at that address. According to a Facebook account linked to Keith Gifford's name, he has several photos of snakes he claims to own with his son, Christopher.
Chris Gifford has more than 460000 followers on TikTok. His post claims he has a zebra cobra that is 7 feet long.
