Eastern Texas through about the bottom half of Wisconsin and from Northern Florida up through the bottom half of New Hampshire. They're found in deciduous forests in leaf litter, under logs, in rock crevices, etc. It's notable that there are differences in venom throughout its range, with southern populations having much more neurotoxic venom (called canebrake toxin after the Canebrake region of Alabama) while more northern populations have hemorrhagic and proteolytic venom.
Rattlesnakes are native to the Americas. They can be found from Southwestern Canada in North America to the Central Argentina in South America. They can be found in almost every type of habitat that can be found in these areas. The habitats include Prairies, Marshes, Deserts and Forests. They prefer open rocky areas where they can hide from large predators and identify plentiful prey like rodents, lizards etc that live amidst the rocks.
Some rattlesnake species hibernate during the cold winter months. They often gather together for hibernation in large numbers (even more than 1000 snakes) and huddle together in underground dens. Rattlesnakes usually return to the same den year after year, sometimes travelling several miles to get there. They share their winter burrows with other species that may hibernate during the same time period.

No, but the timber rattler does.
Eastern diamondback rattlesnakes, pygmy rattlesnakes, timber rattlesnakes and tropical rattlesnakes live in more humid and damp areas.
Yes there is a single population of timber rattlesnakes on the critically endangered species list in Vermont.
The timber rattler is found in the western mountains of Virgnia.
Pigmy, and timber rattlesnakes..In southern Mississippi, these two species are joined by the eastern diamondback in the southern areas of the state.
Yes, but only in the very southeast part of the state. Timber Rattlesnakes live in forested areas with heavy tree canopies: therefore it makes sense that they would only live in the southeast portion of the state, and not in the central or western part where the landscape is mostly prairie.
Only the timber rattlesnake occurs in New Hampshire where it is considered an endangered species.
The Atlantic Ocean has no rattlesnakes. They are terrestrial animals. However, a few species live near the Atlantic including the timber rattlesnake, the eastern diamondback, the massasauga and pygmy rattlesnakes.
