Rattlesnakes are the only snakes that actually have the little bulbs on end of the tail, but a lot of snakes rattle their tail in leaves to warn anything near by that they are upset.
If you are walking in the woods and you hear what you think is rattling, then I would walk slowly away. It could be anything from a rat snake to a three foot long Diamondback Rattler. Copperheads are also notorious for doing this.

All rattle snakes are born with what is referred to as a "prebutton". With each skin shedding the snake develops a rattle. The rattles are hollow and made of keratin (just like human fingernails). Male snake reproduction organs consist of a hemipenis which is internal except during copulation.

∙ 8y agoNo, there is a Mexican species that has no rattle. The Santa Catalina Rattlesnake or Santa Catalina Island rattlesnake (Crotalus catalinensis) is a species of venomous pit viper endemic to Isla Santa Catalina in the Gulf of California just off the east coast of the state of Baja California Sur, Mexico. The base of the tail, the "button", has degenerated to such an extent that the rattle immediately falls off with each shed instead of forming a new segment, as it does in other species of rattlesnakes.

∙ 8y agoNo, rattlesnakes are the only snake with a rattle. However, a number of species will vibrate their tail much like a rattler. If they happen to be on dry leaves, it sounds similar to the sound made by a rattlesnake. Both gopher snakes and rat snakes are notorious for this deception.

No, rattles break off and hatchlings are rattleless.
