A snake came by my room to say "hello" today. I was in the bathroom when it popped its head in about an inch underneath the front door. It was pretty cute so I watched to see what it would do. And it saw me. And it came in. And kept coming in... it was about 3ft long!!! Less than an inch wide but about 3ft long!!! Now I'm in an utter panic... I know I can't scream -- I have the only key to the room... I can't climb through the bathroom window -- it's too small. With no one to save me & no way out, I know it's just me against the snake. I do a mental run down of every item in the bathroom... settled upon blinding it with shampoo & finishing it off with my hairbrush if it made any sudden moves... but I'll first try to wait it out. But it keeps going further in my room... but not far enough that I can run safely out the front door... this might have been really dumb but I started lunging at it... & it worked!! I don't think I scared it so much as annoyed it... it decided to say "goodbye" & slide back out the door.

The hotel staff told me there are some dangerous snakes in the area & then conducted an all out manhunt for the thing & even cut down some of the plants near my door. Last night I shoved a towel in that crack.
