Absolutely. Rattlesnakes enter the world armed with both fangs and venom, and are immediately deadly. In fact, when the snake is young they are extremely dangerous.

They do not have any control over the amount of venom that they deliver in a bite (as opposed to adults who are capable of delivering bites without injecting venom, called a "dry bite").
