History does not say how long he tasted freedom.

A two-meter boa, no doubt curious to discover the world, escaped from his vivarium on Sunday evening in Satillieu, a small village in the Ardèche.

The snake then fell from its owner's balcony to find itself in the middle of the street, reports

And pack up while crawling neither seen nor known in the streets of the village.

The firefighters, called around 9:30 p.m., eventually found the reptile that had landed on a stone wall.

Five officers, equipped with electric poles, were on site.

One of them ended up gently grabbing the boa by the head to place it in a large round trash can and close the lid.

They then returned it to its owner.
