No, it is stored in its pouches under his fangs, like for all other snakes. The tail contains pieces of skin from each of the snake's skin sheads. So you can find out the how many times a rattle snake shead its skin by the number of rattles in its tail.
no, venom is in the head not the tail
None. The venom is not poisonous. It can be, in most case, eaten without problems. Venom must be injected into body tissues to cause harm. All rattlesnakes have venom with varying degrees of toxicity.
No. The sacks which contain a rattlesnakes venom are just held at the base of its mouth.
Like all venomous snakes, rattlesnakes produce their venom in glands inside the head that are similar to salivary glands.
Rattlesnakes release their venom through their fangs
Yes they are - AND it's just as potent in the baby snakes as it is in the adults ! Snake venom is modified saliva - and is usually stored in 'sacs' located in the upper jaw. Once the venom has been delivered in a bite, it is quickly replenished.
Rattlesnakes are not necessarily immune to their own venom. If they bit themselves and injected venom, they would most likely die. However, venom is not poisonous so they could safely eat food with venom. They do it all the time, each time they eat. Venom is only dangerous when injected into tissues.
From the venom sacs in its cheeks 😝
no they do not they poison there prey with venom
venom
Rattlesnakes use their fangs and venom as a defense.
Adult rattlesnakes and baby rattlesnakes have the same venom. However, adult rattlesnakes can control the amount of venom they inject and may not inject any venom at all (a dry bite). Baby rattlesnakes cannot control the amount of venom they inject and are more likely to inject their entire supply.
