Puzzling Palindrome Snake

(Published on 5. February 2024, 00:00 by starwarigami)

Please check out the other puzzles in this series:
It's time to visit the Sudoku Variant museum again!

This time the visitor is a puzzling Palindrome Snake. It enters the museum through one of the 4 exits (Corners) and wants to visit every exhibit (Box) exactly once, then leave the museum by a different exit.

The snake consists of a single path of orthogonally connected cells that never touches itself orthogonally (diagonally is fine).
The digits along the snake must read the same in either direction.

Solve the sudoku such that there exists a unique path for the snake through the museum.

All standard variant rules apply.
