Greg,

Although you and I usually agree in snake IDs, I'm afraid this time I have to disagree.

That snake doesn't have the speckling between the scales and particularly on the snout I have seen in photos of Cape Wolfs.

The head shape and the even color lead me to the Olive/Black Housesnake (Lamprophis inornatus).
