Cologne-Sülz –
Because of an escaped venomous snake, a residential building in Cologne-Sülz was evacuated on Monday afternoon. The people in the ten-party house on Luxemburger Strasse at the level of Klettenbergpark had to leave their apartments, said a fire department spokesman. The animal is a “South African coral snake” about 20 centimeters long, which releases a neurotoxin when bitten.

Because the specimen is still young, the amounts of poison would be small. The fire brigade assumes that the animal is still in the owner’s apartment, where it escaped from a terrarium. (get)
