N.C., and Raleigh, N.C. Following hours of consultation and preparation by police and animal control officers, a glue trap captured a venomous zebra cobra on a north Raleigh porch on Wednesday, capping an incident that drew widespread attention.
A red bucket was used to guide the cobra into a safe location so that the glue could be removed from its body completely.

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

Snakes can spit up to nine feet and are faster than most snakes. A morning dog walk turns into a dangerous event when the snake spits this wide. The African Snakebite Institute cites the snake as extremely dangerous. Venom can cause the nervous system to shut down in victims.
A person hit by the poison would experience pain, swelling, irritation, vomiting, and diarrhea. Afterward, a fever and breathing problems would result, possibly resulting in respiratory failure.

The species of cobras that are found in this area do not bite. The venom is more likely to spray because they are very accurate and go straight for the eye, she said.
Due to the risks, Locke does not recommend this snake as a pet.
Sleeping is when most bites occur. Researchers found that bit individuals could suffer health issues for years to come.
Police searched a home on 6917 Chamonix Place on Tuesday, near where the cobra was last seen.
In March, there was an issue with the animals at that home. They returned on Monday and Tuesday after the zebra cobra was discovered on a porch about a half mile away.
There are county records showing that Keith and Rebecca Gifford live at that address. On a Facebook page associated with Keith Gifford's name, he posts photos of snakes owned by his son, Christopher.
TikTok user Christopher Gifford has more than 460000 followers. On one of his posts, he claims to own a 7-foot zebra cobra.
