The snakes have two pouches right above their fangs. These sacs are called venom glands. when the snake bites something, a muscle around the venom glands squeezes them. this sends venom inside the fangs and out of an extremely small hole in the fangs. Once out of the hole, the venom is enjected into the prey

∙ 12y agoThe Rattlesnake venom is highly Hemotoxic. The venom travels through the bloodstream, destroying tissue and causing swelling, internal bleeding and intense pain.

If an anti-venom treatment is given within the first 1-2 hours, the probability of recovery is nearly 99%.
