No, this was a lie made up by snake lovers such as myself, in the hope when people find them not to kill them.
However a better reason not to kill them, is their control of Vermin such as mice and rats.
Being non venomous and growing to large sizes of 8 feet at times, they are among the best snakes to control mice and rat problems.
Only King Snakes (hence the name) eat rattlesnakes, as well as all other snakes, in North America.
