King Cobra On The Loose
The news reported on Sept. 3 that an 8 foot long King Cobra had escaped from a house in Orlando - and news tonight said it is still missing.
How would a King Cobra escape from a house? Out of the enclosure and the front door of the house open? Strange - even for Orlando standards.
Apparently, the owner had a permit for the King Cobra but ... a King Cobra?
Does anyone remember the couple in Oxford, Florida (just a couple of miles from The Villages) who had a Burmese Python about 5 years ago that escaped from it's open enclosure and the snake killed their little 2 year child?
Why not keep a cat or dog as a pet? As far as I know, you cannot cuddle with a King Cobra or Burmese Python.
The AP news article about the escaped Cobra had the following: Officials warn residents not to approach the reptile if they see it and instead urge them to contact the agency's alert hotline." Sounds like good advice to me!!
Let's hope they catch the snake before it slithers 60 miles to The Villages.
