Depends on the snake. Typically those snakes that are very large and use crushing power (like a boa constrictor, a python or an anaconda) can kill a human by wrapping itself around the chest or neck and squeezing. Also, those venomous snakes (especially the young ones) including rattlesnakes, cobras, asps and adders are more than capable of killing a human with their venom.

Can a king snake kill a rattlesnake?
King snakes are essentially constrictors, which kill their prey by suffocating them. The modus operandi of a king snake is to first bite the victim ( a rattle snake) and then rapidly throw coils around the anterior body of the rattle snake, tightening them continuously so that the rattle snake is not able to breathe. The king snake maintains this tight coil until the rattler is dead. It then releass the coil, uses its forked tongue (and Jacobson's organ) to find the rattler's head and proceeds to swallow the prey. During this process, even if the king snake is bitten by the rattler, it does not matter as the king snake is immune to the venom of its prey.
