Final leg of my Asian tour :D

As promised, part 3 of my escapade. Enjoy!

View from my room



A small sea cave @_@





No idea why there's a freaking hole beside the beach. Made by human-sized moles, maybe? Lol



Some wild ferns growing on a cave wall



What a nice chunk of driftwood. Perfect for my reptiles. Now, how to bring it back home? Lol



Great, turkeys. Just in time for thanksgiving rofl



Talk about an invasive wandering jew



Yes, those are bats





So this is where batman is hiding lol





Look closely and you'll see a 7-feet long Yellow-headed monitor (Varanus cumingi), enjoying an unlimited afternoon snack of bats



Silhouette of an emerald skink (Lamprolepis smaragdina)



Will do lol



Ahhh just in time for a nice nap





A ficus growing on a dead coconut tree trunk



Z_z



More driftwood for me lol



A ginger bloom



Bromeliads growing wild in Asia, seriously?! Lol





Ficus pumila growing wild. Losing its rounded leaves and bearing fruit



Something to imitate inside a viv







Ohh great there's a croc in the stream lol





Some giant orb weavers



A brahminy kite



Legalize this!!! Oh wait, wrong plant lol



An epic bamboo thicket





Ferns gone wild



Ebola alert!! Just kidding





Such a nice cottage if it ain't for the croc lol



Again, will do! Lmao



Mindanao scops owl, a very close relative of my Philippine scops owls



And that pretty much ends it haha!

For real! That'd be a sick setup

Bats! I love that they care enough to put up a sign to not disturb them. Where is that cave of cuteness, if I may ask?

So i visited Vietnam, the Philippines and some offshore Indonesian islands. The batcaves were in the Philippines. It is called Monfort Bat Sanctuary. I think it is the biggest natural bat sanctuary in the world. There are 7 holes and caves with entrances on ground level and they even provide umbrellas and raincoats for sunrise and sunset viewing (coz of the poop rain LOL)

That's sounds incredible! That would be so cool to see. Nice pics of animals what size are those giant orb weavers??

The legspan was about the spread of my hand so maybe a good 7-8" diameter. They are known to eat the bats lol

Minus the airfare, the cave entrance was roughly about $2-3 lol.. The animals there however has been feasting on them for probably centuries lol
