It depends on the species. Some prefer dry, desert areas - while others prefer forested areas.
No, they just adapt to wherever they are. But the presence of a rattlesnake does change other animal's habitat.
Some animals that kill rattlesnakes in their natural habitat include kingsnakes, hawks, and mongooses.
Eastern diamondback rattlesnakes, pygmy rattlesnakes, timber rattlesnakes and tropical rattlesnakes live in more humid and damp areas.
A roadrunner's niche is to eat rattlesnakes.
Rattlesnakes inhabit forests, mountains, grasslands, wetlands, deserts and even rain forests.
Mainly habitat loss and human predation!
Some examples of animals that eat rattlesnakes in their natural habitat include kingsnakes, hawks, eagles, and roadrunners. These predators help control rattlesnake populations in the wild.
Rattlesnakes do not typically like water and avoid it when possible. However, they can swim if necessary and may be found near water sources in their natural habitat for hunting or cooling off.
The habitat of the rattlesnake is restricted to the western hemisphere - the Americas.
Rattlesnakes inhabit most areas with a temperate or tropical climate and are found in deciduous forests, lower elevations of mountains, grasslands, deserts and even in the rainforests of Central and South America. They feed primarily on small mammals, some birds and lizards. Other animals in the habitat depends on the specific area in question.

Yes, rattlesnakes do sleep. They typically find a sheltered spot in their natural habitat, such as a burrow or under rocks, to rest and conserve energy. During sleep, their metabolism slows down, allowing them to rest and recover.
