King snakes are immune to rattlesnake venom making it possible for them to eat rattlers as well as other snakes, rodents and birds which they kill by constriction. Don't know about roadrunners. "king snake." The roadrunner, also known as the Chaparral Cock, is one of the few animals quick enough to prey on rattlesnakes. It uses its wings like a matador's cape, snaps up a coiled rattlesnake by the tail, cracks it like a whip and slams its head against the ground to kill it. There's no indication that the bird is immune to the rattlesnake's venom.
