Kingsnakes are non-venomous; king cobras are highly venomous

The kingsnake and king cobra are very different snakes. Kingsnakes are non-venomous, smaller, and docile, while king cobras are highly venomous, larger, and aggressive. Kingsnakes eat various small animals, while king cobras primarily prey on other snakes. Kingsnakes grow to about 3 to 6 feet, while king cobras can reach up to 18 feet, making them the longest venomous snake. Kingsnakes are adaptable and found in many habitats, whereas king cobras prefer dense forests and areas near water. In a hypothetical fight, the king cobra would likely win due to its size and potent venom. Kingsnakes are immune to some venoms but not to the king cobra's neurotoxin, which can quickly immobilize them.
