What animals are natural enemies of snakes?

Snakes have many natural enemies, such as hawks, honey badgers, mongooses, and kites; the exact predators vary with species and region.

The mongoose is a standout and unusual snake enemy. Living in tropical jungle, it mainly eats highly venomous cobras. It is very agile and rarely gets bitten, and has some immunity to cobra venom, so it can usually detoxify a small dose on its own — making it a formidable cobra predator.
