I was told that the male rattlesnake's rattles get smaller from the body of the snake to the tip of the rattles Making a set of rattles in the shape of a Christmas tree and the female rattlesnake's rattles are the same width from the body of the snake until the tip of the rattles. I was told the by a taxidermist.

The rattles of a male rattelsnake lay vertical and the female lay horizontal (flat)
