Rattlesnakes

Rattlesnakes are found in a variety of climates, ranging from deserts and grasslands to forests and swamps. They are most commonly found in arid and semi-arid regions with warm temperatures, but they can adapt to a wide range of habitats as long as there is enough prey and suitable shelter.

The largest known to have been reported was six feet in length. Most "large snakes" are often reported but never confirmed. The Timber rattler is usually an average of three to four feet in length. The Tennessee Outdoorsman (see related link) is reporting a large snake killed recently and is working to confirm its actual size, it may be a new record for the state.

During a wildfire, rattlesnakes will try to flee to safety by moving away from the flames. However, they may also hide in burrows or under rocks to protect themselves from the fire. After the fire has passed, they will come out to assess the damage and may need to find new habitat and prey.

Yes, prairie rattlesnakes are carnivores. They primarily eat small mammals such as rodents, birds, and sometimes amphibians. They use their venom to immobilize and digest their prey before consuming it.

The Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake (Crotalus adamanteus) is the largest species of rattlesnake, with adults typically growing to lengths of 4-7 feet. They are known for their distinctive diamond-shaped patterns along their backs and their large, intimidating rattle.

Kalmia angustifolia, commonly known as sheep laurel or lambkill, is a plant that gets its nickname due to its toxic foliage. Consuming this plant can be harmful to livestock and can cause symptoms such as salivation, vomiting, and even death in severe cases.

Rattlesnakes live only in North and South America, including some islands in the Caribbean Sea. When I typed in where do rattlenakes live, i got the answer on every continent except Antartica. Now this answer says only North and South America. Which answer is the right answer please.

Approximately 5-10 people die each year in the United States from rattlesnake bites.

The scientific name for the diamondback rattlesnake is Crotalus atrox.

There are at least six species known as black snake, each with its own scientific name. These are: * Coluber constrictor * Elaphe obsoleta * Crotalus oreganus * Agkistrodon piscivorus * Papuan Black Snake * Red-bellied Black Snake

It depends on the species. Diamondback rattlesnakes, the largest of the rattlers, have young that are 10 to 12 inches in length when born.

They can strike from a short distance, about 2/3 of their total body length; but they cannot jump.

Size depends upon species. The smallest is the pygmy rattlesnake that is 14-22 inches long as an adult. The largest is the eastern diamondback which can approach (and some say exceed) 8 feet in length in an old adult. Most varieties average 3-4 feet in length as adults.

Rattlesnake roundups happen mainly in the Midwest and Southern US, not in the West. The main places are Texas and Oklahoma.

Yes, rattlesnakes can be found in cities, especially in neighborhoods that are on the fringes of the city and close to the snake's habitat. I live in El Paso, Texas, and rattlesnakes are frequently found within the city limits.

No, they are not 'poisonous' but they are venomous. There is a big difference. Poison must be ingested to do its damage while venom is injected. You could safely et a rattlesnake unless you have an open sore in your mouth or digestive tract.

No, rattlesnakes are found only in North, South and Central America, They are not found in Asia or Europe.

Crotalus Horridus Horridus and Crotalus Horridus Atricaudatus for the southern "canebrake" race.

The timber rattlesnake, Crotalus Horridus, is found over much of the Midwest and eastern United States, in two subspecies. The canebrake rattlesnake, a paler southern race, is found in the deep south, inhabits lower regions than the nominate race.

Both are dangerous, venomous snakes. But the cobra is an elapid, and the rattler is a pit viper.

The Sidewinder (Crotalus cerastes) is small compared to a lot of other Rattlesnake species. Usually about 2ft long.

It means it has something in its eye or something is irritating an eye.......no your dog does not have a crush on you.

Roadrunners are omnivores and will eat almost anything. They prefer such things as lizards, mice and snakes and do not hesitate to eat a rattler. It is not a campaign to rid the world of venomous snakes. The roadrunner simply sees a meal.

No, nor to strike.
