yes but there main course is a cobraI don't know it they will eat them, but they certainly can kill them.


The Mongoose can easily kill a snake. It will eat its head and venom glands. The mongoose is best known as a snake killer but not all mongooses eat snakes. They are almost immune to snake's venom.
