Earlier: A 19-year-old man who went into cardiac arrest after apparently receiving a snakebite at a North Austin parking lot on Tuesday is dead, a spokesman with Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Services confirmed.
About 9:37 p.m., medics found the man in a car in the parking lot of Lowe’s Home Improvement at 13000 North Interstate 35 with puncture wounds on his wrists. Medics found several containers in his car, including one holding a live snake, officials said.

“Police described the cobra as black with a distinctive circle on its back...”
1) That’s the first suspect description using the word “black” in living memory.
2) Overheard at police headquarters: “No distinctive circle on either of these. The DA says, let’em go.”

Police described the cobra as black with a distinctive circle on its back and a tan underbelly. Police urged people not to approach the snake, But how will they determine if it has a tan underbelly without turning it over? I know, let's send Pedro. He's good at that stuff.

When I was in Thailand years ago, a buddy of mine found a cobra under his refrigerator one morning during the cool season. Guess it was warmer under there. No doubt the same species as this one, as they are relatively common in Thailand.
Aussies in some areas have problems with some even more venomous snakes. In the garage or the engine compartment of the car ... yikes! Copperheads are the only concern where I’m living and they aren’t too bad.
