Why did shakespeare change the lord chamberlains men to the kings men?

Shakespeare did not make the change. Even if the company could have the right to change the name, Shakespeare did not have the right to speak for the company--Richard Burbage was its leader not Shakespeare. The name was changed by King James I. When he came to the throne, he took over patronage of the company. When the patron changed, the name changed.

Can a cobra snake kill a king snake?

YES!!!!! There are several variations of this question on wikianswers, so it isn't necessary to ask the same question over again! King cobras are one of the most venomous snakes in the world and are several feet longer than a king snake. King snakes are not poisonous in the least, so there is no chance whatsoever that a king snake could kill a king cobra. King snakes are generally very docile and are very common as pets. Cobras on the other hand are very aggressive and should only be handled by an expert handler. I'm almost positive they r illegal to own in America as a civilian.
