This first one I saw in China (near the Great Wall) during my trip in '07. It was just laid there basking in the middle of the trail... about 8 feet long. No idea what it might be.

Looks like a King ratsnake? Elaphe carinata?

From that shot I'd say king rat too, especially if it was 8ft.

Nice snake! I love how it's head almost looks lizard-like.
