What are the king cobra's enemies?
Humans, that's it. No other animal is dumb enough to mess with the King of Snakes.
Can a king cobra eat other snakes?
If given an opportunity yes. Catching a mamba would be difficult for a King Cobra because mambas are extremely quick, but King cobra venom is extremely potent and in most cases, the king can kill and eat a mamba comfortably. They are too big when compared to a Mamba to defend itself. considering they are very similar in length, an adult black mamba and an adult king cobra would not view each other as a potential meal. If it was a baby black mamba then the king cobra could eat it, but only if it could catch it without getting bitten itself. catching it would be nearly impossible because black mambas are the fastest venomous land snake in the world, and cobras are clumsy animals while the black mamba is extremely crafty and intelligent. Would be interesting to watch as I don't like snakes.

Is the king cobra the only kind of snake that lays eggs in a nest?
The king cobra is the only species of snake that builds a nest on the forest floor, out of debris. Other species may dig 'nests' in the ground (short burrows to deposit their eggs in), or lay their eggs in abandoned rodent burrows, inside termite mounds, or under debris. King cobras defend their nests, which is also unique among snakes. (Some other species of snakes will guard their eggs, but do not guard the area around them).
Why do king cobras spit poison?
no way.. king cobra are the largest venomous snakes, they are specalised in preying on other snakes and are immune to the other snakes' venom. In addition to that all snakes have a transparent cover on their eyes so the spitter's venom wont blind the king cobra. in a battle b/w a king cobra and and the spitting cobra, king cobra will easily kill and devour the spitter...
