Snake

A 2.5-metre-long king cobra snake was still on the loose in Stockholm on Monday morning, after escaping from its enclosure at the Skansen Zoo on Saturday.

“It’s not in the visitor area, but behind the scenes,” he told TT newswire on Sunday. “There are lights in the ceiling which he’s managed to get through. “Inside the terrarium it’s more like 30, so he’ll be less active when we find him.” “It’s potentially deadly. It had previously been kept in another terrarium on the Skansen site. “It takes time to find a snake,” he added.

A visitor managed to capture the escape on video, where a distressed person can be heard asking: "Is it safe to be here?" "But now it's not hot at all and the new king cobra discovered this and wedged its head in between the lightbulb and the light fixture and managed to push itself out." The snake, named Sir Vas (Sir Hiss), escaped on Saturday through a lamp fixture in a terrarium and was believed to be somewhere in an inner ceiling.

She proceeded to transfer the slithering creature into a carrier before taking it to be looked after at an expert boarding facility. But after thoroughly checking bed linen, and other possible hiding places in the bedroom, the snake was still nowhere to be found." The South Essex resident was greeted by the snake after she woke up from a short nap. A Basildon woman was in for a surprise when she woke up to a three-foot-long snake coming through her open window earlier this month. That is when she found the snaked coiled well hidden around the window's rim.

I saw this video and it made me think of everyone I know who is scared of snakes. They would never use their front door again. LOL.

After posting the video on a Facebook page that I follow 'The Tennessee snake identification and education page' I was told it was a Gray Rat Snake. My husband and I were out of town and our daughter was at the house. Even though we know that snakes aren't hunting for you to bite you if my mother-in-law and friend would never use their front door again. The snakes normally bite because of two reasons, it can be to subdue the prey or for self-defense. Both my mother-in-law and my co-worker, are deathly afraid of snakes. They both believe that snakes chase you to bite you.

Staff have been searching for the King cobra since it escaped through a light fitting on Saturday.

"He must be a smart guy," Wahlström said. The animal -- now nicknamed "Houdini" after the famous escape artist -- had only arrived at the zoo a few days ago. A zoo in Sweden has been partially closed after a venomous snake escaped from its enclosure over the weekend.

“Thanks to my UAB team, that dream will be a reality.” “One website would say to ice the bite, and another emphasized never to ice it,” Wells said. [Comprehensive Snakebite Program](https://www.uabmedicine.org/patient-care/treatments/uab-comprehensive-snakebite-program) at UAB and Children’s, a program designed to provide comprehensive follow-up care after a bite for anyone envenomated in the state of Alabama. “When Raela visited the clinic, my first goal was reassurance,” Rushton said. Even with two bites, she responded well to antivenom, which helped prevent large wounds and considerable soft tissue loss.” “She was experiencing the local toxic effects of copperhead venom, which results in skin and soft tissue damage that presents as bruising,” Greene said. Growing up in Alabama, Raela Wells always heeded warnings such as “a snake only bites the second person” and “be on the lookout from dawn to dusk,” especially during the hot summer months. She also left with a sense of relief. “She was worried that she may never walk again or may lose part of her leg.

That was when the snake took another jab at me.” On a hot summer night, a young copperhead proved the sayings to be more fiction than fact as it sunk its fangs into Wells’ foot not once, but twice.
