Generally , depending on the size of the actual snake , and the amount of venom it secretes into your bloodstream , anywhere from 1-2 hours . If the victim is very young or old/sick , death can occur within 30 minutes . Most snake bites are dry bites , meaning they do not inject venom when they strike . But without proper medical attention , the hemotixic venom will break down tissue and you could actually bleed to death internally from the anti-coagulant properties of Rattlesnake venom .

∙ 12y agoThe Rattlesnake venom is highly Hemotoxic. The venom travels through the bloodstream, destroying tissue and causing swelling, internal bleeding and intense pain. Some subspecies also contain a neurotoxic component in their venom that may cause paralysis. Rattlesnake bites are rarely fatal to adult humans. If an anti-venom treatment is given within the first 1-2 hours, the probability of recovery is nearly 99%. If anti-venom is not administered, death can happen within a few hours.

∙ 8y agoRattlesnake bites are rarely fatal except in those who are aged, very young or severely allergic to the venom. Prompt medical care usually is able to prevent deaths and they are quite rare today. Depending on the species of snake, how much venom was injected and where it was injected would determine the survivability of the victim.

In Vietnam what color is the coral rattler or 2 step snake?
One snake was called a "Two-step" by GI's, because the word was you could only walk two steps after being bitten before you died. This may have been a myth to keep GI's alert in the bush, because there are no known snakes in the world that can kill that fast. We know it as a coral snake. The fastest known killer, Africa's Black Mamba, can kill in about 2-1/2 minutes if bitten directly into a major artery or vein that goes straight to the heart.
