Juvenile Harlequin Sweetlips NOT spotted in women's hostel

......................but there was a terrifying poisonous cat snake in the hostel last night - aarrrggghhhh!
If you want the full story, read on.....
Last night Hannah was inches from stepping on a cat snake that was curled menacingly across the whole step just outside the hostel. I'd just been out there in the dark. I heard Hannah so went outside, right down the same steps the snake was now lurking under, to be told to move to the other end of the hostel FAST!
A couple of people went to investigate and we went inside, thinking we were safe, only to see the snake slither under the door into the women's dorm room. We panicked and hid on the top bunk - not a good idea as the snake managed to climb up the wall and onto the curtain rail. By this point I went for reinforcements and they managed to literally sweep the snake outside. Needless to say, we won't be sleeping so well in the hostel for the next few nights.


That's the door to the hostel at the top of the photo
