Even a morning walk with your dog becomes dangerous due to the snake's ability to spit up to nine feet and be as fast as a zebra cobra. Apparently, African Snakebite Institute believes the snake is very dangerous. A victim's nervous system might shut down upon ingestion of the venom.Those stung by the poison would experience severe pain, swelling, rashes, nausea, and diarrhea as a result. It would then lead to a high fever and breathing problems, which could cause respiratory failure.An enthusiastic veterinarian, Salina Locke treats all kinds of pets at Avian and Exotic Animal Care.Cobras of this kind usually do not bite. They spray their venom more often -- they're very accurate, she said.According to Locke, this snake is not suitable for keeping as a pet.Most bites occur while people are sleeping. Bite victims could be plagued with health problems for years, studies show.During a search on Tuesday afternoon, police searched the home on 6917 Chamonix Place, near where the cobra was last seen.Four officers were dispatched to that home for an animal issue in March.
