New York (CNN) -- A venomous Egyptian cobra went missing from New York's Bronx Zoo, prompting the closure of the zoo's reptile house until further notice.

Staff was alerted Saturday that the adolescent Egyptian cobra was missing from an off-exhibit enclosure, according to a statement from the zoo. Staff members closed and secured the reptile house.

Zoo officials said they are confident the 20-inch-long snake is contained in a nonpublic, isolated area of the building.

"Based on our knowledge of the natural history and behavior of snakes, we know they seek closed-in spaces and are not comfortable in open areas," the zoo statement said.

The baby cobra was found a few days ago inside the reptile house. She is very cute. She has Gold colored skin.

She does not have a name yet. The Daily News, will pick her name(today) from the list that people voted for.

The Top Five Are:

Cleopatra

Mia - missing in action.

Subira - Patience

Amaunet - an Egyptian goddess

Agenes - Greek, meaning, pure or holy

I voted for Mia.

As of Noon yesterday, the baby cobra was named Mia; which means missing in action.
