Residents of Raleigh, North Carolina, were warned on June 29 to be on the lookout for a venomous zebra cobra after it escaped from its owner’s home. The Raleigh Police Department released this 911 call of a resident who reported a sighting of the reptile to police on June 28. Police said an animal control officer responded to the 7000 block of Sandringham Drive after receiving a report that the snake was spotted on the porch of a property. The officer was unable to find the snake when they arrived, police said. “During the follow-up investigation, it was discovered that the zebra cobra is missing from a resident’s home in the area,” police said in a statement. “Residents are advised that the venomous snake is still on the loose and could spit and bite if cornered.
