They use there tongue to smell
Snakes do not smell with their tongue, nor do they taste the air. Snakes have no sense of taste. They can use their nostrils to smell (the same olfactory sense we have), as well as vomeronasal or Jacobson's organs located at the roof of their mouth. Scent molecules are collected on each fork of the tongue (by the way, their forked tongue lets them know where the thing they are smelling is-left or right). The tongue is brought back into the mouth, and is brushed up against the vomeronasal organ, where the information is sent to the brain. The vomeronasal organ can be thought of as a more sophisticated sense of smell. It is found in some humans and apes, as well as horses and an array of other animals.

Can a king cobra eat a kitten?
No. Adult Bengal Tigers have no natural predators (Apart from man). No other animal in the forest is strong enough to kill a full grown adult Tiger.
However, a King Cobra biting a tiger is a very real possibility. Even if a cobra bites and kills a tiger, there is no way it can eat a bengal tiger
cobras don't really eat big creatures of such, but it can poison a big creature and eat another snake
