My apologies for the small pictures. For some reason the pictures are automatically reduced when I upload it. I will be happy to forward it to anyone interested – Please PM me.

Both snakes were spotted before sunset.

The dark/black snake came into the warehouse, it had a rounded snout with no clear distinction of where the head ends and the body starts.

The light brown snake was more slender and had an elongated triangular head. The head was a bid darker than the rest of the body.

Above is about what I could get as an eyewitness report.

I recon the first one is either a Purple Glossed Snake (Maybe Cape Wolf??) or a Stiletto and the second on is obviously a Brown House Snake.

[Ruan Stander]

The first one struck me as a stiletto immediately.
And the second did look like a brown house snake even in the tiny pictures, but there was too much room for error.

[reptile]

yup agree, so the first one, if it was a stilleto, is dangerous though not deadley, and the second one is a really common harmless snake called a the brownhouse snake.

Forgot to add, that stilletos normally have white bellys, while there harmless, similar looking snake that westley mentioned, the purple glossed snakes have a blakish one.

Cool! Thanks for all the assistance.

Pleasure!
