Pet mongoose?
Mongoose are skillful , they understand tha a cobra can only strike as far as they can raise up ( plus and inch or two) Vipers on the other other hand can and do launch their strikes. All it takes is one hit and the mongoose is lunch. Russel’s pit vipers in SEA are bad news . As is the Malaysian green pit viper, what are called un Thai ‘ ngoo jong ang’, the snake with the burnt tail. Had a close call with one of those once , but that’s another story
