I live in Thailand and last weekend while clearing brush on my property i uncovered three snakes. They were all about2.5-3 feet long and bluish gray in color. Their heads were not triangular and they had an interesting sort of iridescence when they passed through a patch of sunlight. I have two little kids so I want to know if they are dangerous or not. Thanks for your help.

Could this be what your saw: http://www.animals-club.com/reptiles/snake/Xenopeltis_unicolor.jpg (also called a sunbeam snake, gets ~40 inches, varies somewhat in color from gray to brown background, but the iridescence is characteristic.)
Also see the reed snakes: http://www.ecologyasia.com/verts/snakes.htm
If not one of these, you might find one that's more similar in the second website.
This also seems to match your description, although it would be out of the correct geographic area: http://www.redorbit.com/education/reference_library/reptiles/iridescent_shieldtail/2284/index.html

please tell us what part of thailand you live in, as it might help narrow down what species is native to your area. are you in Isan?
regards
