Notes

North Raleigh venomous zebra cobra hunt is over after glue trap takes care of the problem.
Despite the consultation and preparation by animal control officers, a glue trap snared a venomous zebra cobra on a north Raleigh porch Wednesday night, a 48-hour incident that generated nationwide interest.
To remove the glue fully from its body, the cobra was guided into a red bucket and moved to a safe location.
An earlier video interview had captured a striped snake crawling onto a porch on Sandringham Drive from the siding of a house. Looking around, its hood was visible as it lifted its head.
Officers from Animal Control moved the cameras back after confirming that it was the snake, trying to capture it before moving in.
911 call from that same home sparked the search in the early morning Tuesday.

A pet of this snake is not recommended because of the risks, according to Locke.
Most bites occur when a person is sleeping. Bite victims may suffer health problems for years, research reveals.
