The unstoppable march of the human race into the snakes natural habitat - coupled with the majority of peoples dislike for anything reptilian !
Currently, there is only one species of rattlesnake considered endangered and that is the ridge nose rattlesnake (Willard's rattlesnake) of extreme southwest New Mexico and southeast Arizona.
Mainly habitat loss and human predation!
Are sidewinder rattlesnakes endangered?
Yes there is a single population of timber rattlesnakes on the critically endangered species list in Vermont.
No there are no Rattlesnakes on Martha's Vineyard. However there are Rattlesnakes in Massachusetts. They are called Timber Rattlesnakes and they are found in the Blue Hills Reservation near Boston, and the Connecticut River Valley and the Berkshires. Rattlesnakes in Massachusetts are ENDANGERED so it is illegal to kill, Harm, or Harass these reptiles.
They are running out of wetlands,biomes to live in.
The eastern diamondback is endangered in some states, like North Carolina and Louisiana, but fairly common in others.
It's hard to determine exact numbers, but it is an endangered species there.
No. Neither the Eastern Diamondback nor the Western Diamondback are endangered species. They have lost much of their habitat to human development, but there are still vast areas that they inhabit that are inhospitable to humans.
Only the timber rattlesnake occurs in New Hampshire where it is considered an endangered species.
The eastern diamondback is threatened over much of its range, and is endangered in NC. Habitat loss, and killing of these snakes by humans are the biggest reason for their threatened condition.
The timber rattlesnake is not an endangered species, except in some states, where their habitat has been altered. Massachusetts, New York, and New Hampshire are some of these states.
Many are in trouble. Both eastern and western diamondbacks, the timber rattler in some areas, and the massasauga.
