Something to keep in mind is that people in Southeast Asia

may come into contact with poisonous snakes more often than here in the US. Also, Asia has a lot more venomous and fewer non-venomous snakes than North America. Although it is possible 1 or both snakes are non-venomous. I was basing my guess off the shape of the head and color pattern. It is possible 1 or both are close to molting which could make identifying them more difficult.

FWIW the 1 looks like it could be a Indochinese spitting cobra, Thai spitting cobra, or Siamese spitting cobra.
