Some scary moments were captured over the weekend for residents of a Houston apartment complex after coming face to face with a deadly cobra.
The residents caught it all on camera as it managed to slither its way through the building.
Angry and ready to attack, an albino monocle cobra stood its ground on the third floor hallway inside an apartment building.
“For a second, your brain does not compute what that is,” said resident Jan Johnson.
Johnson opened her front door on Saturday to find the two foot cobra.
The venomous cobra blocked neighbor Joseph Manglicmot’s front door.
“Had a wedding to go to on Saturday, I was running super late,” Manglicmot, who has a fear of snakes, said.
“I went out my neighbor’s window and I scaled the wall into my place,” he said.
Residents surrounded the young cobra and discussed throwing a laundry basket over him.
“But we were worried that the snake was going to go someplace where we couldn’t find him,” Johnson said. “So it’s better to keep him in sight.”
One resident even tried to use a toy robot to corner the cobra.
Three police officers were on scene, one with a broom, another with a pillow case, and a third with his taser gun.
The officer finally sacked the cobra and quickly went down the elevator.
The cobra was handed over to an animal control officer, who euthanized it, saying it was far too aggressive.
