The eight-foot-long king cobra that has been missing for over a month from the house of its "Airplane Repo" reality TV star owner has been found under a dryer in a garage in Orlando. A woman who resides in the home where the snake was found was putting clothes in her dryer when she heard mysterious hisses, according to Fox News.
The poisonous snake was able to escape when a tree branch fell on its enclosure. It was recovered from a nearby home only 1,500 feet away from the reality TV star's home, according to Greg Workman of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, CNN reported.
Cynthia Mullivain, the owner of the house where the snake was found, said the hissing sounds under her dryer urged her to call the wildlife authorities.
"I don't freak out with snakes, but I started getting a little antsy after about the fourth hiss," Mullvain said, according to WESH Orlando.
Other parents raising concern over the lost snake expressed relief after receiving the news that the king cobra snake has been found.
"I heard it this morning and I was excited. I told my kids and everything," according to one parent, Kelly Fitzgerald, WESH Orlando added.
The missing king cobra has now been returned to its owner, Mike Kennedy, who reported the snake missing on Sept. 2 after he returned from a trip. He also pleaded not guilty against charges on not being to report the missing snake immediately, ABC News reported.
