Joan Nelson said she was relieved that the ordeal was over.
She said she was really happy and that she felt much safer now. It feels good to be able to walk on the deck and outside. However, I feel bad for the snake.
A zebra cobra has been missing from a north Raleigh neighborhood where this stunted snake is seen.
The snake, a zebra cobra, is extremely fast and can spit up to nine feet away, making a walk with the dog even scarier. Consequently, the African Snakebite Institute says the snake is very dangerous. A victim's nervous system could shut down if stung with venom.
An individual hit by the snake's poison would feel immediate pain, swelling, irritation, vomiting, and diarrhea. It would then lead to a high fever and breathing problems, which could cause respiratory failure.
Salina Locke is an experienced veterinarian at Avian and Exotic Animal Care, where she treats all types of pets.
Normally, this cobra species does not bite. It is more likely that they will spray their venom . They are very accurate and go straight for the eyes.
Despite the risks involved, Locke does not recommend keeping this snake as a pet.
Sleeping is when most bites occur. Bite victims could be plagued with health problems for years, studies show.
In the late afternoon on Tuesday, police searched 6917 Chamonix Place, near the place where the snake was last spotted.
There were four visits by police to that house in March in connection with an animal issue. On Monday and Tuesday, they returned after spotting the zebra cobra on a porch about a half mile away.
