Thanx alot.
Tricolor Hog nose snake (or False coral hog nose) make sense for the first one and Phrynonax polylepis (Common puffing snake) for the second.
Still struggling a bit with the third...

Could the third one be Boddaert's tropical racer? (Mastigodryas boddaerti)

Hard to say, but could be possible...
The image does not allow a decent view of the face, so for me looking at the head and eye...I see something with a blunt face and not
prominent enough eyes. That said...could be an angle issue.
