UPDATE: The king cobra is STILL on the loose. I repeat! STILL ON THE LAM!
I hope all our Orlando queens are accounted for down in Orlando, FL! Roxxxy Andrews, you coo? Ginger Minj, you good? Anyone got eyes on Tyra Sanchez?! Hide yo wife! Hide yo kids! Hide yo husbands! There is a damn king cobra on the loose in Orlando. The eight foot long, green and yellow snake escaped from it’s ‘possibly mesh and glass’ cage in it’s owner’s home sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. The Orlando Sentinel spoke to Carl Barden who owns the Reptile Discovery Center and has been extracting venom from king cobras for over 20, and he says the snakes are “shy elusive animals” and that “the chances of that snake actually biting someone are extremely remote.” He also said there was plenty of king cobra anti-venom in Central Florida. A local elementary school isn’t taking any chances and is keeping all kids inside today while the hunt for the missing snake continues. Although officials haven’t revealed who owns the home, property records show that Mike Kennedy, who’s know for Airplane Repo on the Discovery Channel, owns it with his wife Valerie. I know I’d be inside today because I just CAN’T with king cobras.
