earl60466,

The ANSWER is call a traditional Vietnamese hunter. = They KNOW how to hunt/kill/cook cobras.
(In fact fresh cobra blood is a delicacy there.)

yours, satx
 
hahahahahhahaaaaa Tim, I laughed my butt off !!

well, it's all in good fun. A few years ago, I stepped into my shed to find
an ENORMOUS diamond back all coiled up in a pile !!!
Maybe 5 feet long..... was hard to tell from the PILE of snake it was coiled up in.
It was probably 3 feet from my legs . . . . dang, what a feeling when you are not expecting it !!!
I have been scared many times by different things - but this one had my absolute undivided attention !!!
Took a few minutes to gather the mind-set to slowly back up and close the door.
RAN to the house, got my .410 . . . . slowly opened the door and listened for the unmistakable buzz.....
no snake !! got a long stick, poked around, turned stuff over, no sound - no snake.
It was MONTHS before I went in there without making a commotion first !!
the second unsettling adventure was going into another shed, opened the door, always looking
around on the floor first - then, just happened to look up .. . . . there on a rafter was this huge
rat snake looking down at me. I love the outdoors, I like all of God's critters !!
I just don't like SURPRISES !!!! LOL that is why my Python Trip to the 'Glades only lasted two hours LOL.
Too many places for those stupid 12 footers to hide in. and they DON'T advertise their presence
with hissing or rattling the tail ..... just bite and wrap, all in one smooth movement.
I can only imagine a friggin COBRA cornered in a garage !!!! I would be calling 911 from the next county !!
I KID YOU NOT !!
 
Just as predicted - the 8' King turned up in some lady's garage !!!
She was putting clothes in the dryer when she heard this hissing sound
coming from a corner . . . . GEEEZZZEEEEE can you imagine ???
She said that when Animal Control came to look, they pulled back the dryer and
the cobra raised up straight . . . the lady said it was taller than her. (5'3").

Mike Kennedy (the owner) had a court appearance yesterday but plead not guilty to neglect
and his attorney has requested a jury trial . . . hmmmmm my vote is GUILTY !!

Looking at this lady's garage where the snake was found has some PVC pipe and
other debris under the garage door preventing it from closing all the way.
there is NO TELLING what else is in there too !!!

ok, back to boating - the snake is got LOL



:LMFAO: @ MirrorMan . . . yes, I had the prior name of BareFoot Johnny.
which came from some surf fishing friends a few years ago. Because I am
always barefoot, no matter where I go. Also, an American Indian (Seminole) name.
If I had a nickname for the cobra - it would be: Atawanba ta loktano.
Which means - Johnny stays home cuz he is skeered. LOL

yep !! it has been returned to Mike Kennedy, the owner.
this is not the first time one of his snakes have escaped.
a few years ago, a 10 foot king cobra got loose and was killed
in a neighbors garage, a half mile away.

This case is far far from over..... the law enforcement agencies that
expended their valuable resources to hunt this thing, are adding up
their individual costs and the bills will be forwarded to Mike Kennedy.
His licenses and facility is currently under review to house exotic animals . . .
He currently has a leopard, some very venomous non-native snakes
and others. He takes the unwanted and found animals to save them
from the gas chamber.

He will have a jury trial soon just to address the issue of why did he wait
2 days to report this snake missing. Which carries a monetary fine.

alas, the saga continues.
