"The entrances to the two caves are about 100 metres apart. The first cave is accessed by climbing a steep 20 metre slope. The second cave's entrance is an insignificant hole less than a metre high at ground level. The upper cave was quite a clean cave. Most of the guano has been taken out and scattered on the banana plantation. There were hardly any rock formations worthy of note but its geological deficits were more than compensated by the cave fauna present. Hardly 30 metres from the cave entrance, at the beginning of a 'wind tunnel' I almost kissed a reticulated python, coiled up on a ledge. Fortunately my bright headlight picked up the camouflaged 8-footer and aborted my unscheduled "encounter of the third kind". The wind tunnel is about 8 feet wide so we could give the snake a wide berth as we continued our hike. In the tunnel itself we saw a cave centipede cowering behind a small stalagmite and numerous cream-coloured fine millipedes.

The chamber beyond the wind tunnel tapers to a small exit about 10 metres up. This exit, through which air is funnelled into the wind tunnel is not accessible. However another narrow passage about 15 metres long allows only one person to crawl through at a time. It connects this chamber to another exit that overlooks the N-S highway. The long-legged reddish brown cave crickets ( ? species) seen in this passage appears to be different from those seen in Gua Tempurong.

Surprisingly, when we backtracked, we found the python still in situ above the wind tunnel, probably still waiting to catch an unsuspecting bat! The second cave is a real mud cave. First we crawled 10 metres over firm mud (not too bad!). The next stretch of 20 metres is a 'fun stretch'. Those who had the experience of walking in the mangrove mud had no problems. Two rookies sank to their knees and almost could not retrieve their shoes from the gooey substrate. Not surprising they beat a quick retreat! The rest of the gang wised up and decided to spread their weight out by crawling on all fours.

There are a few interesting rock formations here. Unlike the usual sharp pointed stalactites, the ones seen here are globular in shape. Three separate stalactites looked exactly like a certain part of the female anatomy. I pointed these out to the ladies present and asked, "Do these look familiar to you?" The answer was an overwhelming, resounding "Yes!" A juvenile caver, whose curiosity was aroused by our comments, asked his mother for permission to have a look. His mother sportingly said, "You are over 18 today."
