Can a rattlesnake bite itself

Answer 1

Yes, it can, but it is immune to its own poison.

Snakes are not immune to their own venom. If a venomous snake bit its own tail, it would die. The same goes for other snakes-even of the same species (with the exception of a few snakes, like kingsnakes).

Answer 2

most venomous reptiles, including snakes, are immune to their own venom. their bodies create the venom in small sacks directly behind their fangs and after a while their body gets use to it, the same way if a person rubs poison ivy all over his/her body a few times, there body becomes less effected. some snakes can make themselves sick if they either bite themselves and release too much venom or are bitten by another of their kind. lastly, rattle snakes are not at all immune to their own venom. if a rattle snake bites its self, it will either become deathly ill or simply die.
