Snakes have very rare and very unique methods of killing their prey. But, because of their size and inability to cut their food, they have very limited range in terms of their food. It makes them sit a bit low in the food pyramid.

Mangoose too is a carnivorous animal and has a similiar food habits. Thus, it too sits on the similiar level as that of a snake in the food pyramid. But a mangoose can eat a snake and vice versa.

Snake venom is highly potent to most of the animals and also certain snakes. Though they comprise of less than 10%, it is pretty much amount of venom to extinct many species at once.

Thus, to keep a check on that, Nature has immunised certain mangoose through centuries of evolution and thus control the number of snakes in the wild. Also, except for mangoose, there are very few natural predators of snakes in the wild.

The mangoose-snake fights are usually termed as indecisive because if a venomous snake has injected its venom in the non immunised mangoose, it is bound to die, maybe a bit later after the fight is actually over. But, in the case of non venomous snakes, they have to pretend to be venomous in order to save themselves.

Thus, the mangoose-snake fights are actually just the fights of survival.

Hope this helps.
