I'll guess the one with the pink tail is a yellow bellied racer (flavi-- something)? The other one, IDK, a rough green snake, smooth green snake, something green snake? You will not get proper names from me. LOL. It's fun to guess though.

Correct, with only a little help on the subspecies..

Why do you think the two snakes sharing the same habitat but not closely related at all would appear to be so similar at that point in their development?
.
An interesting question..
