There is a different name for each species of snake, but the best answer I can give you is that they are part of the suborder "serpentes". If you're looking for a specific one then just go on Wikipedia.

Rattlesnakes are not a single species and so do not have a single scientific name. Rattlesnakes belong to the subfamily Crotalinae, though not all members of this subfamily are rattlesnakes. Within this group rattlesnakes can belong to either the genus Crotalus or Sistrurus.
Scientifically rattlesnakes are of the Genus Crotalus and Sistrurus.

Phylum: Chordata

Class: Reptilia

Order: Squamata

Suborder: Serpentes

Family: Viperidae

Subfamily: Crotalinae

There is no single scientific name. A scientific name is applied to a single species. There are 32 known species of rattlesnake in two genera: Crotalus and Sistrurus.
