Studies have shown that relocated snakes have lower survival rates than snakes that are not moved. Distance matters, too. Snakes moved long distances - more than one kilometer (.62 miles) - have survival rates conspicuously lower than those moved shorter distances. 100 meters is ideal for the snakes survival.

No, they may not survive. Rattlesnakes return to the same den each winter and never stray far from it when active. If they are removed far from the den, they will not know what to do in winter and may freeze to death even though they are near another perfectly good area to spend the winter.

Rattlesnakes do not travel in groups. Rattlesnakes are independent hunters and travel alone. They do gather in late fall to winter in dens, with great numbers.
