The sheriff's office said the snake "isn't talking" about how it managed to end up inside the woman's home. The post came to the attention of the Marion County Sheriff's Office, which joked about enlisting the help of the Polk deputies to catch the venomous "Ocala cobra" still on the loose in the county.
