Had to wake up early, and sat on the bumpiest trip ever in UMS Chelonia for a period of over two hours. The sea was rough, and our boat is small...
Arrived there at around 9.10am, unloaded equipments, then went to search for the snakes underneath rocks, with the help of a guy from Sabah Parks.. Had a good experience dealing with these deadly creatures. The island is small and with nice views around, just that there's lots of guano all over the island.
All in all we found 9 of them and took measurement such as total length and weight, while some escaped due to the rocky cracks that we could not reach~ And our hands were full of snakes' dung...
Around 11.10am we were ready to leave the island. Had lots of junkies in our backpacks, alongside with those big waves that made us wet~ Reached at around 1.30pm, took a shower then crashed to bed.. Exhausted, but enjoyed!
Nice trip~
Thanks to all those involved!
