How do you tell age of rattlesnakes?
It has been thought that the number of rattles the snake has determines its age. It is not necessarily true as young snakes grow more rapidly than older snakes and may shed their first skin several times in the first year. As snakes mature they may not shed once a year as they used to, so counting the rattles only signifies how many times they have shed their outer skin and fair idea of their age but not an exact age.

Does a rattlesnake add a rattle each year?
The rattle is composed of a series of nested, hollow beads which are actually modified scales from the tail tip. Each time the snake sheds its skin, a new rattle segment is added. Newborn rattlesnakes do not have a rattle, they gain one after the first time they shed their skin. Adult snakes may lose their rattles on occasion, but more appear at each molting. If the rattle absorbs enough water in wet weather, it will not make noise.
