King cobras, like other snakes, have small openings horizontally on the underside of their bodies, near thee base of their tails. These openings are called cloaca, and are covered by a half-moon-shaped scale that is called the anal plate. When the king cobra is ready to excrete, it releases uric acid through the cloaca, which is liquid waste and a more efficient form of solid waste that helps reduce water loss and prevent dehydration.

Well, isn't that a fascinating question! King cobras, like many other snakes, have a single opening called a cloaca where they pass both waste and reproductive fluids. This helps them efficiently remove waste from their system while conserving water in their bodies. Nature truly has a way of balancing things out in the most remarkable ways.
The king cobra excretes waste materials through a tiny hole in their tail, known as a rectum.
They have holes, on their bottom sides, just back from the end of their bodies. That is where their reproductive organs are, as well.
