Houston police catch cobra at high-rise apartment complex

If you’d like to enjoy a series of consecutive heart attacks, feel free to view this news broadcast complete with iPhone video of a bunch of cops who clearly have no idea what they’re doing trying to capture what turned out to be a albino monocled cobra.

Cobra found in luxury downtown Houston loft “I look down and for a second your brain does not compute what that is, right?”

Jarrad Mears, a division manager for Animal Control, said every expert he’s spoken with believes the snake is a Cobra.

“It was sort of just hanging out in the middle of the hallway”, said Ethan Shear, a resident of the Rice lofts.

Houston police were summoned to the complex Saturday when some residents spotted the snake on the third floor. “It had raised its head a little bit like you would see in Indiana Jones or something”. I mean, how the hell else do you explain that that a goddamn two-foot motherf***ing cobra was just slithering down the halls completely unencumbered this past weekend. Enough to know I should not go near that.’.

Resident Colby Lewis says someone ran up to him and a group he was with and told them to call the police because they were nearly bitten by a cobra. “And then we all kind of walked away”.

‘We’ll be much more diligent, ‘ Lewis told KHOU. “And then we opened it and we were like, ‘What’s going on out there?'” witness Jan Johnson said.

Mears said Animal Control will turn over whatever they find in their investigation to the state Parks and Wildlife Department.

The man reportedly had a license to keep venomous snakes, but it is still illegal within the city limits.
