Cobra is captured after 4 days on the loose in Thousand Oaks
A distinctive albino monocled cobra that had eluded animal control officers for days was finally captured in a semi-rural neighborhood, not far from where it was first sighted..
During its four days on the loose, the pale hooded reptile became a social media darling with its own Twitter account and hashtag. But the potentially lethal snake, more commonly seen in Southeast Asia than southeast Ventura County, also left residents unnerved.
The Thousand Oaks snake hunt began Monday after the cobra reportedly bit a 7-year-old whippet named Teko. The dog was treated at a local veterinary clinic, released and is expected to make a full recovery.
Since a cobra bite can kill an adult human in as little as 60 minutes — depending on the victim's immune system — the fact that the dog was able to survive made some wonder if the snake's venom glands had been removed.
