Young rattlesnakes have little control of their venom and are prone to injecting all they have when they bite. Adults can control the amount of venom and do not like to waste it as it may mean going hungry for a few weeks until they replenish the supply. Sometimes they will give a dry bite as a warning and inject no venom.
