Scenario 1: King Cobra vs Rattlesnake

Scenario 2: They team up and try to take down an ANACONDA

Tough call, they're all vicious brutes.

Neither would win as they're both venomous and would kill each other. I suppose technically the winner would be the one with the stronger venom as the other snake should die quicker.

1. I go with the rattlesnake. No real reason other than he's not the favorite.
2. the corba and the rattlesnake just need one bite to kill the anaconda.

correct me if im wrong....
king cobra = eater of other venemous snakes...rattlesnake = venemous snake ... rattlesnake = food

annaconda goes down.

I concur.

yeah the king cobra is the longest venemous snake( unless i'm forgetting some rare south american) and is known for eating other snakes. The cool difference is that a cobra has fangs in the back of its mouth so it has to hold on to its victim and chew the poison in whereas a rattler has larger front fangs with poison glands and can inject poison faster. So it would be an interesting match.My personal favorite is the rattler though.

Fer de Lance?
Cobra wins, they eat poisonous snakes and even resort to cannibalism. Also Cobra's have Neurotoxins which are quicker to effect than the Rattlesnake Hemotoxin.

Before answer, it's interesting to compare those snakes
-KCobra is elapidea, evolued snake, hunters and this snake is sedentary. This class contain the most dangerous snake and the most venomous species (KCobra, Mamba, Taïpan, Krait...) and their venom is neurotoxic (very dangerous) and can kill in 5 minutes a horses for some species. King Cobra eat other snake (Krait, Vipers, Python...and Asian Crotales). Its the bigger venomou snake in the world.
-The Rattlesnake (i dont know how species you choose), is a pitviperidea (Crotalinea), with the best perfectionned venomous weapon of all snakes. His Hemotoxic Venom is less killer than neurotoxic but most hurted, like a knife in the leg...The Crotalus Cascabell or Durissus Terrifus (South America) is the most dangerous Crotale cause its have some small neurotoxin is his venom. But, Viper are not good to figh other snakes like Elapideas and the Cobra are protected for some Hemotoxic Injection. The Crotale cannot fight the neurotoxic and the King Cobra is the most intelligent snake. It's possible the Crotale kill also the Cobra but the first one killed will be the Rattlesnake I guest
So the Cobra

For the Anaconda scenario, look...whatever bigger the snake are, he cannot do anything against venomous threats, but smale constrctor snake can kill a rattlesnake because vipedidea are not agiles. So the Rattlesnake will be more vulnerable to the Anaconda than the Cobra. Just think, the King Cobra is the best animal (after man) to kill reticuled python.

KCs seem to be more solitary. Rs often gather together in groups, either for protection under rocks or to get warm in sunny places. Maybe a KC would be beaten if it took on an R and then got attacked by other Rs. I suppose that As would be killed by KCs and Rs unless they constricted them very quickly.
