Cobras often feeds on eggs and chicks raided from poultry houses, in addition to small mammals, toads, lizards, birds and other snakes.

The cobra has some unusual feeding traits:

The cobra has long spines inside the throat on the neck vertebrae. After it has swallowed an egg, the shell is pierced by these spines and then crushed by the snake's muscle contractions. The contents of the egg pass through the throat, but the vertebrae spines prevent the passage of the shell. The cobra then spits out the shell.

The King Cobra, O. Hannah, is a snake eater. Like the King Snake, King Cobra's will seek out and feed on any variety of snake that crosses their path. They will even eat each other venomous and poisonous snakes, but will usually avoid them. They have evenbeen known to eat other cobras!
