There are two passages early in the story that establish that mongooses in general are natural enemies of snakes. The first is by Teddy's father (speaking of Rikki-Tikki) "Teddy's safer with that little beast than if he had a bloodhound to watch him. If a snake came into the nursery now --- '' and the second is from Rikki-Tikki's initial meeting with Nag "and he knew that all a grown mongoose's business in life was to fight and eat snakes"
