It depends on the species. Some prefer dry, desert areas - while others prefer forested areas.
Rattlesnakes are found in grasslands, deserts, forests, savannas, mountains and wetlands - depending on the species.
Rattlesnakes are found in grasslands, wetlands, deserts, mountains, forests as well as in rain forests.
No, they just adapt to wherever they are. But the presence of a rattlesnake does change other animal's habitat.
Eastern diamondback rattlesnakes, pygmy rattlesnakes, timber rattlesnakes and tropical rattlesnakes live in more humid and damp areas.
A roadrunner's niche is to eat rattlesnakes.
Rattlesnakes inhabit forests, mountains, grasslands, wetlands, deserts and even rain forests.
Mainly habitat loss and human predation!
The habitat of the rattlesnake is restricted to the western hemisphere - the Americas.
Rattlesnakes inhabit most areas with a temperate or tropical climate and are found in deciduous forests, lower elevations of mountains, grasslands, deserts and even in the rainforests of Central and South America. They feed primarily on small mammals, some birds and lizards. Other animals in the habitat depends on the specific area in question.

Eastern diamondback rattlesnakes do not live in the desert. Western diamondbacks do.
Ignorant or cruel humans will wantonly kill rattlesnakes despite their importance in the environment. Also, urban sprawl and industrialization are rapidly causing habitat loss for many species.
Because the human race is encroaching on it's natural habitat - bringing it into closer contact with people !
When - like most animals, rattlesnakes produce young in late spring/early summer. Where - it depends on their natural habitat. How - once the young hatch, they are completely independent, so no parental care takes place.
