THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. USA — A deadly albino cobra , which is several feet long, had been on the loose since at least Monday evening, when it reportedly bit a dog.
However, the veterinarian who treated the animal said it appeared that the dog wasn't bitten but was hurt while trying to escape the snake, KNBC-TV reported.
County animal control officers and state wildlife officials poked through bushes and checked woodpiles, concentrating their searches during cooler morning and evening hours when the snake was more likely to be up and around. However, the snake was captured Thursday.
Television reports showed officers using a long-handled tong-like grabber to haul the snake from a pile of scrap lumber in a backyard and put it in a long wooden box.
