The diamondback rattlesnake has several symbiotic relationships, primarily with ectoparasites like ticks and mites, which can feed on its blood but may also help keep the snake's skin clean by removing dead tissue. Additionally, it may engage in commensalism with certain birds or mammals that take advantage of its hunting grounds, benefiting from the prey it flushes out. In some cases, diamondback rattlesnakes may also be preyed upon by larger predators, establishing a predator-prey dynamic that indirectly influences the ecosystem.
