The short answer is, "NO". they are considered 2nd level consumers. First level consumers are animals such as Mice, who feed on plants, plant-based, etc.. Since a Rattlesnake would eat a mouse, it would be considered 2nd level. An example of a 3rd level consumer would be a hawk, or some other bird of prey, eating the snake.
