With his hissy fit at an end, a deadly 7-foot snake is back in his enclosure in a Swedish zoo, having taken it upon himself to return home after a week on the lam. “Houdini, as we named him, has crawled back into his terrarium,” Jonas Wahlstrom, the Skansen Aquarium’s CEO, told Swedish radio on Sunday, according to the Associated Press. Houdini, whose real name translates to “Sir Hiss,” escaped by sneaking through a light fixture in the ceiling on Oct. 22.
A frantic search effort was mounted, with X-ray technology eventually revealing the creature’s hiding spot not far from his terrarium, in an insulation layer between two walls. The zoo team drilled a number of holes into the wall, stressing the animal out, according to Wahlstrom. “So he wanted to go home again,” the executive added, explaining that was when the massive venomous animal surrendered, squirming back into his tank.
