Venomous cobra escape in Lelystad "Keep your doors and windows closed"
A search is underway for a venomous shield-nosed cobra in Lelystad. The snake may have escaped from a home on Sont on Monday, though an animal expert told the municipality there is a good chance it could still be in or near the home in a place where it is warm and dry. Since the owner has not yet been able to locate it, and a bite from the snake can cause health problems, the city warned all residents living within 300 meters of the snake's owner.
