A glue trap ends a days-long search in north Raleigh for a venomous zebra cobra.
Following many hours of consultation and preparation by Animal Control officers, a glue trap was ultimately deployed to capture a venomous zebra cobra on a north Raleigh porch on Wednesday, capping a 48-hour case involving North Carolina media.
The glue was removed from the cobra's body after being guided into a red bucket and brought to a safe location.
A striped snake was captured by WRAL cameras crawling onto a front porch on Sandringham Drive earlier in the day. Lifting its head, its hood could be seen.
The Wildlife Control officers moved camera crews back after confirming that this is the snake, then went in to attempt to capture it.
Searches were launched early Tuesday after the same home made a 911 call.

North Carolina. Despite hours of preparation by animal control and law enforcement officers, a glue trap ultimately trapped a venomous zebra cobra on a north Raleigh porch Wednesday night, capping an event that garnered attention throughout the state.
After guiding the cobra into a bucket, the glue over its body was carefully removed.
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. Looking around, its hood was visible as it lifted its head.
Camera crews had to be redirected after Animal Control officers confirmed it was a snake before moving in to try to capture it.
The search was sparked by a 911 call from the same home early Tuesday.

'I feel very safe now,' she said. Now that I can go outside, I can walk on my deck and go outside. Even so, I feel kind of sorry for the snake.
There is a striped snake in the yard of a north Raleigh neighborhood where a zebra cobra has gone missing.
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 reports that this snake is very dangerous. A victim's nervous system could shut down if stung with venom.
Those stung by the poison would experience severe pain, swelling, rashes, nausea, and diarrhea as a result. The symptoms would be a heavy fever and breathing problems that could lead to respiratory failure.
Dr. Salina Locke, a veterinarian at Avian and Exotic Animal Care, treats all kinds of animals.
Normally, this cobra species does not bite. Venom is more likely to be sprayed by them, since their venom hits straight for the eye since they are so accurate.
Due to the risks, Locke does not recommend this snake as a pet.
Sleeping people are more likely to be bitten. Research indicates people who are bit can suffer health issues for a long time.
In the late afternoon on Tuesday, police searched 6917 Chamonix Place, near the place where the snake was last spotted.
Four police officers visited the home in March to investigate an animal problem. The zebra cobra was spotted on a porch a half mile away on Monday and Tuesday.
There are records in the county indicating Keith and Rebecca Gifford live at that address. A Facebook account associated with Keith Giffords shows several photos of snakes, which he identifies as being his son's, Christopher.
Christopher Gifford has more than 460000 followers on TikTok. A zebra cobra that is seven feet long is claimed by him on one of his posts.
