Following many hours of consultation and preparation by officers from Raleigh police and animal control, a glue trap was finally able to capture the deadly snake on a north Raleigh porch on Wednesday night, capping a 48-hour case involving North Carolina media.
It was taken to a safer location to be fully cleaned after it was guided into the bucket and guided out.

When officers confirmed it was the snake, they walked back from the camera crew before moving in to try and capture it.
On Tuesday, police searched the same home after receiving a 911 call there.

In Raleigh, North Carolina. Following a 48-hour saga that garnered attention from across North Carolina, a glue trap eventually entrapped a venomous zebra cobra on a north Raleigh porch Wednesday night, coming to an end in North Carolina after nearly 48 hours of turmoil.
The cobra was guided into a red bucket and taken to a safe location so the glue could be completely removed.

She said the ordeal is over and she is relieved.
She said she felt safe and really happy. It feels good to be outside now, even walking on my deck. Even so, I feel kind of sorry for the snake.
There has been a missing zebra cobra in a north Raleigh neighborhood where a striped snake is laying out on a porch.
The snake, a zebra cobra, is extremely fast and can spit up to nine feet away, making a walk with the dog even scarier. The African Snakebite Institute states that the snake is very dangerous. A victim's nervous system could be shut down by the venom.
An immediate reaction to the poison of a cobra is pain, swelling, irritation, vomiting, and diarrhea. In addition to a heavy fever and breathing problems, respiratory failure could also result.
Dr. Salina Locke, a veterinarian with Avian and Exotic Animal Care, treats an array of animals.
The species of cobras that are found in this area do not bite. Venom is more likely to be sprayed by them, she said; they are very accurate and aim straight for the eyes.
A pet of this snake is not recommended because of the risks, according to Locke.
Sleeping is when most bites occur. A bit could cause health issues for years, research shows.
There was a police search of 6917 Chamonix Place Tuesday afternoon, near the street where the last sighting of the cobra was reported.
In March, the police visited that residence four times for an animal issue. Approximately half a mile away, they spotted the zebra cobra on a porch, prompting them to return on Monday and Tuesday.
The records of the county show Rebecca and Keith Gifford live at the address. A Facebook account associated with Keith Giffords name shows several images of snakes that he claims his son Christopher owns.
Christopher Gifford has over 460000 followers on TikTok. A zebra cobra that is seven feet long is claimed by him on one of his posts.
It was taken to a safer location to be fully cleaned after it was guided into the bucket and guided out.
