Do you live in the Dallas area? There is a cobra loose in a condo there.
For
real. They have no idea how it got there. It is illegal to own, so no one
is
going to step up and say it is theirs. Where is a mongoose when you need
one?

Head butts to all, Lisa.

Well, the big scare really didn't involve me, but it was still quite
scary.
In the evening news, there was an item about a cobra being spotted in my
neck of the woods. It wasn't in my subdivision but in the same area
where
I
live. Witnesses said they saw the huge snake with it's jaws open to its
widest capability and it was swallowing a cat!
The cat was not moving or struggling, so it was already probably dead.
Anyway, they're still looking for the snake. A family in the
neighborhood
said their cobra had died during the winter and they had buried it. Some
of
the authorities thought it might not have been dead, and had been
revived
by
the warmth.

I hate snakes, so this didn't sit well with me. I went to sleep, and
guess
what, I had a nightmare. I dreamt the damn cobra had entered my house
and
was going after Jazz. I grabbed him and ran out to the garage and closed
the
door between the garage and the kitchen, but the cobra was trying to get
out
through the door! Then I woke up.
Man, my heart was beating a mile a minute.

Did I mention I hate snakes? They haven't found the cobra yet.

Be glad you don't live in Guam. They have an imported brown
snake problem there that would be all over the news if it happened in
the continental US.

I just mentioned this in a post yesterday. The brown snakes have no
natural predators in Guam and their population has exploded. Yes, they
are very destructive. However, I thought that in more recent years,
the people there had started to resolve the situation.

Be glad you don't live in Guam. They have an imported brown
snake problem there that would be all over the news if it happened in
the continental US. These things will climb light poles and short out
the power to a neighborhood. Spotting one is a common event. Worst
of all, they will swim up a sewer pipe and appear in your toilet bowl.
That doesn't happen often, but once is too much for me.

Oak Lawn. They caught 1 last week but this second one is really
sneaky. I'm scared to death of snakes. If I lived in this condo complex
I would have moved out already.

Good...OakLawn is far far from me...... we had a Sonora Desert Snake get
in(in our West Texas home) a couple of years ago.....It was HUGE! and
scarey!(they aren't supposely poisonious but their bite is bad...they also
eat small kittens and pups!)..It wrapped itself around the hall stool and
when I was trying to herd it out in got into the water heater closet(which
had a hole into the wall/attic!)When the snake guy got there he couldn't get
it out...said there was stuff on the market to drive them away from a home
but nothing that would get them out once there...Agggghhhh...He also
informed us, that it most likely had been a pet that got mean and agressive
and was released(he'd gone on two snake call a couple of times the week
before), he also said that they usually paired up! Later that night we heard
cats growling and Damn! there was another(different size)..we got that one
out! All spring summer and fall we swore we could hear it in the walls and
attic!!!!!(we assume he finally left via the dormer vent or froze when
winter hit)

I still get a creepy feeling(when at home there) that Mr/Mrs. Snake is
still about! Bbbbbbrrrr...:-) Liz

With all the other snakes in Texas does one cobra make that much of a
difference? Now that snake that comes through the toilet, that's scary.
Makes the dangly bits scrunch up thinking about it.
