GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas – A venomous snake is on the loose after police say 
it escaped from its enclosure in a home in Grand Prairie, Texas last week.

The owner of the West African Banded Cobra noticed it was missing around 
6:30 p.m., Tuesday, Aug. 3, from a residence in the 1800 block of Cherry 
Street.

Grand Prairie police took to social media Wednesday, saying animal 
services, the owner and a venomous snake apprehension professional 
searched inside and outside of the home but weren’t able to track it down.

Authorities are now warning neighbors and others in the area to be on the 
lookout for the missing cobra.

“Residents who live in the area and see any type of snake believed to be 
the missing cobra, are asked to call 911 immediately,” police said on 
social media. “Do not approach or attempt to capture the venomous snake.”

Area hospitals have also been notified of the snake’s disappearance in 
case they need to treat this type of snakebite “in the event of a human 
encounter,” according to GPD.

Exotic snakes are permitted in the state of Texas; however, owners must 
obtain a permit issued by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. You can 
learn more about the permits and their requirements here.
