Like most snakes, a dimoandback rattlesnake's first choice will be to hide or flee. However, if the snake feels it is cornered or that it cannot escape, it will rattle its tail as a warning. As a last resort the rattlensake will inflict a venomous bite, which is extremely painful and potentially fatal.

Impossible to answer accurately. The segments (or 'buttons') of a rattle-snake's tail only indicate the number of times the snake has shed - not the number of years it's been alive. And, rattlesnakes do not grow 12 feet long. The largest species, the eastern diamondback, has a maximum potential length of eight feet, which is the record for this snake.
