...blind its prey from 9ft away...

Try a mask. That always works.

Beware the even deadlier Delta variant.

My guess is it will get run over or shot before it is captured or hurts anyone.

That’s it, everyone must wear face shields, even after the cobra is captured or killed….just “because.”

What kind of a hole keeps a spitting cobra in his house?

They should have named it Triffid.

"Animal control was called after it was initially spotted, but by the time they had arrived [two days later], the snake had left the area."

Fixed it.

Deadly spitting zebra cobra is still on the loose in North Carolina...

The snake should head North, if it gets to DC or New York City, it will be impossible to distinguish it from Liberal Socialist Democrats.

It should be illegal to keep deadly venomous snakes as household pets.

Good morning, Sal. Are all your buddies tucked in nice and cozy? Nobody out roaming the neighborhood?

In many of the videos, Gifford appears in a yard with an uncaged cobra, filming it crawling through the grass.

“She is so unhappy right now,” he says in a video, as the cobra hisses and raises its hood. “Gotta love having a cobra. It’s sick. I mean, how often can you say that I get to play with my cobra? Every day.”

In another, he allows the snake to crawl out of a large garbage can.

“We’re gonna let her come out,” he says. “’Cause she’s not hurting anybody. OK, let’s get her to hood up. You got her, Dad? Oh, she’s moving. There we go. There’s that beautiful cobra.”

Why do these idiots think a cobra is a good pet?

Some thirty years ago, I visited the house of a friend from work. He told me to watch where I stepped, so I wouldn’t accidentally step on his pet rattlesnake, which had the run of the house. I did not stay long, because I hate snakes and wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible.
He died about 3 or 4 years later. Do I need to say it, snakebite?

In his book "Jungleman" Major P.J. Pretorius writes about hunting in Africa with some local natives as guides. As they climbed over a rock they surprised a spitting cobra that sprayed a native in the eyes. The other natives held him down while another pi$$ed in his eyes. Pretorius writes that although his eyes were sore and swollen it saved him from going blind.

As his neighbors read this: “Honey, could you please bring me the 12 gauge?”

Maybe he’ll find a mate and they’ll have lots of little spitting cobras.

I’ve read that if someone is hit with this venom to quickly wash out the eyes, and the most available fluid is usually ...urine.
