They get moisture from their food - also they will (if necessary) seek out pools, streams etc to drink from.
Rabbits and prairie dogs are food sources for larger rattlesnakes. Rattlesnakes sometimes use prairie dog burrows for shelter.
A prairie dog is a rodent - a rattlesnake is a reptile !
There is none, they are protected.
No, but rattlers eat prairie dogs.
Yes, prairie rattlesnakes are carnivores. They primarily eat small mammals such as rodents, birds, and sometimes amphibians. They use their venom to immobilize and digest their prey before consuming it.
There are rattlesnakes in Idaho. Both the prairie rattlesnake and the Great Basin rattlesnake are found there. Only the extreme northeast part of the state has no rattlenakes.

The prairie rattlesnake, crotalus viridis, lives in South Dakota.
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.
Rattlesnakes would eat a prairie dog if they could catch it. However, if a rattlesnake approached a prairie dog colony, the prairie dog's "sentinels" would alert the rest of them, and they would hide in their holes. A rattlesnake could fit into the holes, but I don't think that snakes usually actively seek prey (they act more like a trap, waiting for prey to come to them).
I'm not sure about all the different kinds but i kno one kind is the Mojave rattlesnake
No. The sacks which contain a rattlesnakes venom are just held at the base of its mouth.
