There are 8 species of rattlesnakes in the United States that are listed as either a "species for concern," "threatened," or are a "candidate" for listing on the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Services Species Reports. However, there are no rattlesnakes listed as endangered at this time.

no, but of course it depends on the type of snake.

Certain snakes are endangered, and the following are the top endangered ones:

The San Francisco Garter Snake

Eastern Indigo Snake

The King Cobra

Dumeril's Boa

So yes, some snakes are endangered, but snakes in general are not an endangered species.

Currently, the only rattlesnake listed as endangered is Crotalus willardi obscurus (New Mexican ridge-nosed rattlesnake). Some other species may be endangered in particular areas but not overall.

There are a number of species listed on CITES Treaty list as either threatened or endangered or of concern. The only species listed as endangered is the subspecies of the tropical rattlesnake - the Aruba Island Rattlesnake. At last count, only 235 of these were estimated to exist. Within the United States none are listed overall but some local populations of rattlesnakes are listed by states as threatened or endangered.
