The venomous white cobra captured in Thousand Oaks arrived Friday at the San Diego Zoo, where it will join the cobra exhibit after spending 90 days in quarantine.
The San Diego Zoo has the anti-venom serum that would be needed if the snake strikes anyone.
Housed in a specific reptile container, the snake was transported from Los Angeles on the 5 Freeway in one of the zoo's animal transport vehicles, accompanied by the zoo's curator of reptiles.
A deadly cobra that mysteriously appeared in a Southern California neighborhood was taken to the Los Angeles Zoo.
"At first he was not happy and did a lot of hissing," said reptile curator Kim Lovich. "But then he settled down and it was just a nice family trip to San Diego on a Friday afternoon."
