When we got back to our room, we found a snake in there. At first it was all scared of us so I tried to just scare it back out the door. Then it flared its neck super wide at me and I realized it was a cobra. Yikes. When the hotel staff arrived, they told us it was a spitting cobra, capable of spitting venom from 6 feet that can blind you. My tourist mission cell phone video of it is here.
