Rattlesnakes vary in size like any other animal. I've seen them as little as a few inches for the baby ones to over 7 feet long.
Eight foot long eastern diamondback, killed in N.C.
I'm not sure about all the different kinds but i kno one kind is the Mojave rattlesnake
The eastern diamondback is larger than the timber rattlesnake, and they would probably ignore each other in the wild.
Maybe forty pounds, but rattlers don't get over eight feet long.
NO. I hope this didn't just happen to you! Seek medical help immediately. Even if no help is available, cutting off your foot is not an option.
