Cobra Snake in Texas Now Has a Twitter Account.

By Editor

GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas – Remember the venomous West African Banded Cobra that went missing in North Texas last week?

Well, it’s still on the loose and now, it is apparently taking to Twitter and Facebook to share its adventures as search efforts continue.

The snake’s username is “Grand Prairie Cobra” and its Twitter bio reads, “Just a cobra visiting and seeing the sites of Grand Prairie and North Texas.”

Granted, this social media account isn’t actually run by the snake, but the user behind it is getting creative with its Twitter posts.

So much so that the snake’s profile has over 5,300 followers and counting. Whether it’s slithering through the grass or creeping on other critters, you’ll probably get a laugh as you scroll through the Tweets.

According to Grand Prairie police, the snake went missing around 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, Aug. 3. from a residence in the 1800 block of Cherry Street.

Animal services, the owner of the snake, and a venomous snake apprehension professional searched inside and outside of its home but weren’t able to track it down.

Neighbors in the area are still urged to be on high alert just in case they come into contact with it.

“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.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

By Editor
The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent.  It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu".  We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service.  If you have not been denied registering your child i...

I said let me study and see how he was beaten. I found the man had been beaten in the right way,” Museveni explained. “This was because…I think this was SFC people who are not police-minded. They are used to doing other things. But somehow they managed to act properly, I was surprised.” When they [SFC] went where this young man was in the room, he had ca...

By Editor
Parliament also urged Gov’t to provide additional Shs4Bn to UTB to engage international and national media houses in production of positive media stories for improved destination image, following reports of drop in number of tourists from US, Europe and China visiting Uganda. "The National Development Plan targeted to cumulatively attract 281,760 International Tourist arrivals from US, Europe & China but only 67,252 arrivals were registered by the end of the first half of FY 2023/24.

However, this has remained unfunded,” said La...
