Answer:

The native snake population will decrease

Explanation:

The situation in the question is a case of ‘competitive exclusion principle’. It explains that two species who are competing for the same resources, both cannot live together in a given habitat. They would compete for the same resources. As a result, the species which have survival advantages will use the recourses and increase its population. On the other hand, native snake population will decrease due to less availability of resources for its members.
