There are 32 known species and 65-70 subspecies of rattlesnakes, all of which are native to the American continents. Please be more specific, and ask whether you mean their travelling, or strike speed.

It is hard to specifically measure the speed of a rattlesnake, but they likely travel at about 2 to 3 miles per hour in very short bursts. The average human should be able to easily outrun a rattlesnake.

A rattler can strike faster than a boxer's punch. It has been estimated at about 60 miles per hour.

A human can easily walk or trot faster than a rattlesnake can move. However, their ability to strike like lightening makes them a formidable creature to approach too closely.
