Residents in Austin, Texas are being urged to be on the lookout for the "highly aggressive" reptile. 

Eighteen year old Texas resident Grant Thompson was rushed to the hospital on Wednesday night after the teen was found in unconscious in his car. Thompson had picture wounds on his wrist that resembled a snake bite. He passed away after going into cardiac arrest, but the official cause of death will not be released until an autopsy is done. Inside Grant Thompson's vehicle police found one non-venomous snake, six tarantulas and one bull frog.

There was one reptile however that was't found: a monocled cobra.

Police believe that the cobra could be anywhere, and are telling resident in the vicinity to be vigilant. If residents see the poisonous snake, they are being urged to call 911 immediately, because the snake is "highly aggressive." That's traumatizing.

@Austin_Cobra now has a following of 3,000 people who want to see more of his hilarious tweets.





Update: The Austin cobra has been found dead on the side of Interstate 35 in Austin. RIP Austin Cobra.
