and live a very long snakey life right where it is. That is a large area and there were always be lots of mice, rats and sadly other creatures that it will eat. The heat is probably really comfortable for it. I would bet it wants to see people as much as they want to see it.

Don't put your hands or feet in a dark place to look for anything, use a long stick. I would not want to be anywhere near a loose one. I took care of poisonous snakes at the zoo for a while, nope to a loose cobra. I loved the job but we were able to do it mostly with safe measures. Cobras can have real tempers.
