A while back, an Indian (foreign) student in an apt. complex had two or 3 King Cobras in a cage/box in his apt.— was reported and the UNC area Chapel Hill police came and got them for the NC zoo to have. These are the largest cobra’s up to 20 feet and they are snake hunters— they eat other snakes in the wild.

A zebra spitting cobras is much worse. The “spit” can blind for life-— as the natives know the way to neutralize the spit so not blinded is to pee on the eyes (yes— open the eyes and pour or piss on them. Imagine that in the urban setting— up strolls the police officer as the event occurs... heh). It apparently does work— would have to look up the antidote mixture— probably a pH neutralizer to the spit.

Just hope that MR. Cobra doesn’t find a Mrs. Cobra.

Now it makes sense. Those supposed Russian hookers in Trump’s hotel bed were just trying to neutralize cobra venom.

Must have had the same lax security as the Wuhan Lab.

Are these things legal to be brought in? Why?

I hear Cobras get lousy gas mileage and require premium fuel.

See #48.

I just watched the episode of “Leave it to Beaver” in which Wally and the Beaver buy an alligator.

I am afraid that someone’s poor dog or cat will be blinded or bitten by this crummy snake, as their curiosity leads to tragedy.

“North Carolina state law G.S. 14-417 states that:

“It shall be unlawful for any person to own, possess, use, transport, or traffic in any venomous reptile that is not housed in a sturdy and secure enclosure. Enclosures shall be designed to be escape-proof, bite-proof, and have an operable lock.”

Police did not say if the owner of the snake will face any charges related to owning the snake or having it escape.”

To my wife - that means no visit to Raleigh until it’s caught or killed.
