It depends on the season. During the hottest months the snakes may be active only at night. In the cooler months, such as in the spring, they may be active any time of the day or night.

What happens when you get bitten by a diamondback rattlesnake?

It first depends on what you are asking. If you are asking how does one treat the snakebite, I would recomend going to a doctor. If it is a dry bite, it still needs to be treated like any other severe animal bite. If however it is not a dry bite and venom is injected, one needs to seek immediate medical attention, because a diamondback bite is often lethal if left untreated.If however the question is asking what happens to the body here is a list:Western Diamondback Rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox)ProteolysisHemorrhagingSkeletal DamageTissue DestructionPermenant Tissue LossGangrenePainSwellingBleedingNecrosisVarious other minor symptomsEastern Diamondback Rattlesnake (C. adamanteus)ProteolysisThrombosisHemolysisHemorrhagingParalysisNecrosisSevere Acute PainHypotensionInternal PainAs well as other minor symptomsRed Diamond Rattlesnake (C. ruber)ProteolysisHemorrhagingNecrosisAssorted minor symptomsPacific Rattlesnake (C. oreganus)ProteolysisHemorrhagingMuscular WeaknessSkeletal DamageAll Venom from Rattlesnakes are deadly if left untreated.
