The venomous zebra cobra found in north Raleigh is trapped by a glue trap.
As a result of hours of consultation between law enforcement and animal control officers, a venomous zebra cobra was captured on Wednesday night by a glue trap, ending an eventful 48-hour period that attracted attention throughout North Carolina.
To remove the glue fully from its body, the cobra was guided into a red bucket and moved to a safe location.
A striped snake was spotted earlier in the day crawling out of the siding of a house on Sandringham Drive, onto the front porch of a house. In looking around, the hood of the vulture was visible.
After confirming the snake was the one they were trying to capture, Animal Control officers moved the camera crews back.
Searches were launched early Tuesday after the same home made a 911 call.
