UPDATE: The Associated Press is reporting the cobra is coming south:
The monocled cobra was captured Thursday in Thousand Oaks — where it was slithering around since at least Monday — and was taken to the Los Angeles Zoo. It's going to be transferred to the San Diego Zoo.
We have an update on a story we brought you, yesterday: The great hunt for an albino cobra that got loose in a Los Angeles suburb is over.
A driver spotted the highly-poisonous snake slithering along a fence not far from where it was first spotted. She called authorities, who captured it without incident.
The Los Angeles Times reports:
"Animal control officers went into a backyard of a home in the 300 block of Rancho Road and spotted the snake near a fence after moving some debris, said Brandon Dowling, a Los Angeles County spokesman.
"Animal Care and Control Lt. Fred Agoopi captured the snake using a metal pole and put it inside a wooden crate.
"'The snake was agitated obviously, because they were trying to move it,' Dowling said. 'No one was injured though.'"
