Notes

North Raleigh's days-long search for a venomous zebra cobra ends with a glue trap.
Despite the efforts of animal control officers and law enforcement, a venomous zebra cobra was captured on Wednesday night by a glue trap, capping a 48-hour case involving North Carolina media.
A red bucket was used to place the cobra in the bucket and to transport it to a location where all glue could be removed.
The snake was seen crawling onto a porch of a house on Sandringham Drive earlier in the day. In looking around, the hood of the vulture was visible.
When officers confirmed it was the snake, they walked back from the camera crew before moving in to try and capture it.
This same residence had called 911 early Tuesday, sparking the search.

North Carolina, Raleigh Following a 48-hour saga that garnered attention from across North Carolina, a glue trap finally captured a venomous zebra cobra on a north Raleigh porch Wednesday, capping an event that garnered attention throughout the state.
Glue was removed from the cobra's body by placing it in a red bucket and moving it to a safe location.

It was a relief to neighbor Joan Nelson to have the ordeal over.
She said she feels much safer now and is very happy. My deck and I have become more comfortable outside now. It's very sad for the snake, though.

A zebra cobra can spit 9 feet long and is faster than most snakes, making morning dog walks extremely hazardous. Apparently, African Snakebite Institute believes the snake is very dangerous. As a result of the venom, a victim's nervous system could shut down.

One who is poisoned by the cobra would immediately feel pain, swelling, irritation, vomiting, and diarrhea. A severe fever and breathing issues could cause respiratory failure.
The Avian and Exotic Animal Care is run by veterinarian Salina Locke, who treats all types of pets.
The cobra species in this group doesn't typically bite. They spray their venom more often -- they're very accurate, she said.
She is not recommending it for pets, due to its risks.
People tend to get bitten most often when they're sleeping. Research shows that people who are bit may suffer health issues for years.
Tuesday afternoon, police searched a home at 6917 Chamonix Place, near the last location where the cobra was spotted.
In March, the police visited that residence four times for an animal issue. Following the sighting on Monday and Tuesday of the zebra cobra on a porch about half a mile away, they returned.
There are records in the county that indicate Keith and Rebecca Gifford reside at that address. The Facebook page containing Keith Gifford's name contains several photos of snakes that he claims to own.
TikTok user Christopher Gifford has more than 460000 followers. A zebra cobra that is seven feet long is claimed by him on one of his posts.
