King cobra put up a fight before recapture in Orlando

A missing king cobra which has had residents in Orlando on edge for over a month has been found beneath the clothes dryer in a garage about a half a mile from the Dragon Ranch Sanctuary, which is owned by Mike Kennedy and his wife Valeria. According to DbTechno it took 3 animal control staffers used special tongs to grab the cobra, who then had to put it inside a cat carrier rather than a normal snake container due to its size.

Cynthia Mullvain told CNN affiliate WESH that she heard hissing coming from underneath the dryer in her garage Wednesday and contacted authorities. “All this lady was confident was at that it would be was also a largest snake”. “It was hissing underneath the dryer”. “It’s a big snake”. You drop everything and go get somebody who can do something about it. When animal services arrived, they discovered that they weren’t dealing another sumbitchin cottonmouth. “When it (raised) up, it was taller than me”. And it was huge, too, said officer Jenifer Porter. The box that usually holds snakes was too small, so officers put Elvis in a cat cage.

“Snakes don’t upset me …”

” We just didn’t want it to get away and it started to get away and started to go into the house”, Porter said. “It was trying to go into the house”.

Ultimately, Elvis was caught not far from where he had escaped his home and his cage, the state Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission reported via Twitter.
