Sir Vass, a 7-foot venomous king cobra, is back in his enclosure after escaping from an aquarium in Stockholm last week. Nicknamed “Houdini,” the cobra escaped on Oct. 22 via a light fixture in the ceiling of its glass enclosure at the aquarium, part of the zoo at the Skansen open-air museum and park on Stockholm’s Djurgarden island. As a result of an intensive search with X-ray machines, “Houdini” was located in a confined space near the terrarium in the insulation between two walls.
m Jonas Wahlstrom, CEO of the Skansen Aquarium in Stockholm, said Sir Vass (Sir Hiss), a 7-foot king cobra nicknamed Houdini after it escaped its enclosure, "crawled back into his terrarium."
