Video: 12-Foot Snake Escapes Zoo, Found In Shopping Mall After 2 Days

"The Burmese python is an easy-going snake," said the snake's caretaker.

A snake that escaped its enclosure at the Blue Zoo Aquarium in the Mall of Louisiana was found after a two-day search. Cara, a 12-foot python, went missing from her enclosure Monday evening, reports UPI. The snake's flight to freedom forced the zoo to close down for two days as workers searched for Cara.  The Blue Zoo is an interactive aquarium that recently opened at the Mall of Louisiana in the US. The zoo flew in a specialist and employees spent Tuesday night searching for the python - to no avail. On Wednesday, the zoo was shut down again as employees continued the search. Cara was finally recaptured in the early hours of Thursday. The snake was found "in the wall, ceiling area", according to Ronda Swanson, chief marketing officer for the Blue Zoo Aquarium. It would appear as if Cara had managed to find her way into a small crawl space in the mall.  The zoo shared the good news on social media alongside a video which shows Cara being plucked from the wall. The python was found safe and healthy, the zoo said in its Facebook post.
