i had a similar experience with a picasso trigger. i came home to find him crispy and dried to the carpet. when i peeled him off, he made a grunt. so i threw him back in. he sank like a stone but eventually he could swim again and went into hiding. unfortunately he died a few days later.

I keep hearing of fish that dried out, looked dead and were throw back in the tank and lived. I had it happen to me with a jawfish once. Thought for sure he was dead but through him back just in case, sure enough he lived. Sold him a year later and heard his demise was carpet surfing again, but he didn't make it.
Hope your eel's doing well. Thanks for sharing!

Mine almost didn't make it as I was 15minutes from going to Edmonton for the New Year's weekend.

yeah eels are notorious for carpet surfing. it's a good thing they're also notorious for being able to dry up and rebound to life once put back in the water!
oh, and ladies and gents, this is a classic example of why all eel tanks need a tight fitting lid with no spaces for an eel to escape. and i do mean NONE.

that little 1 inch whole has now been covered. So there will be no more escaping.
