Some populations dwindle, such as the Ridge-nose rattlesnake, the Massasauga, and the Twin-spotted rattlesnake, along with a myriad of other subspecies. I would say that rattlesnake round-ups are the biggest threat to rattlers, although the round-ups do only affect a few species. People also need to be less quick to kill a rattlesnake on "their" property.

Yes, the rattle is actually quite fragile and may break off when the snake is traversing rough, rocky terrain. Also, as the snake grows and the number of rattle segments increases, the entire structure becomes a bit unstable and may break.

No, they are not rare. However, they are usually quite secretive and are rarely seen, even in areas with high populations of rattlers.
