Such a powerful venomous snake cannot have natural enemies. They have 2 natural enemies, one eagle and other Rattus norvegicus. Although venomous snakes live here preying on migratory birds, due to their own factors, they will also be hunted by eagles in sky.

Of course, eagles don't catch them every time, and they don't succeed every time. snakes. The second natural enemy of these venomous snakes is Rattus norvegicus.

In fact, there were no rats on Snake Island at first, later several fishing boats moored to island, and some Rattus norvegicus escaped from boats to island, where they bred for no reason.

These Rattus norvegicus are very intelligent. They usually attack snakes when they are hibernating, and most of them succeed. But some Rattus norvegicus are not so lucky, they prefer to bite these poisonous snakes at beginning of winter.

At this time, when snake has not yet fully entered its sleep period, these mice will be killed and become food for venomous snake.
