RALEIGH, N.C. — Animal control caught the venomous zebra cobra on Wednesday night after it was spotted on a porch in a north Raleigh neighborhood.

Earlier in the day, WRAL's cameras captured a striped snake crawling out of the siding of a house on Sandringham Drive, onto the front porch of a home. Its hood was visible as it lifted its head to look around.

Animal Control officers moved camera crews back after confirming it was the snake, before they moved in to attempt to capture it.

The cobra was seen on the porch of the same house as it was first spotted earlier this week – the home of the man who called 911 to report the snake.

Police and animal control officers could be seen gathering; some were holding snake-capture gear and wearing face shields.
