Rattlesnakes

Rattlesnakes are really harmful, because sometimes snake bites can kill people. Actually, the most dangerous snake is called the Western Daimondback rattler.
They can be deadly. If you are bitten by one you should seek medical attention immediately. You should not panic. When you panic, your heart rate speeds up which makes your blood flow speed up and brings the poison to your heart much quicker.

The tail of a rattlesnake consists of a series of interlocking hollow buttons that produce the rattle sound when the snake shakes its tail. Each time the snake sheds it produces a new segment for the rattle. It is used as a warning to potential predators or to large mammals that could step on the snake. See the image above of a rattle from a rattlesnake.

Both species of diamondback rattlesnakes can grow to seven feet or more in length but the average for a larger rattlesnake species is 3-4 feet. Soe smaller species do not grow to even 2 feet as adults.

They are actually found in two countries. Although the main population is in the United States there is a small amount in Eastern Canada. Also found in Mexico, Central & South America.
They are found in the deserts of sw united states

Yes,rattlesnake bite are very deadly.The most deadly is the mohave,tropical,western and eastern diamond back rattler.there are two type of venom that rattler have either hemotoxic or neurotoxic

neurotoxic causes parralised,bleading and to death

hemotoxic cause tissue damage, bleading and to death.

rattler that has nuerotoxic....mohave and tropical rattler

rattler that has hemotoxic....western and eastern diamondback rattler

nuerotoxic attack faster than hemotoxic

if you get bitten by ths snake, seek medical treatment.

fun fact: Aruba rattler are the rarest rattlesnake

eastern diamondback are the largest and haviest rattler also the haviest venomous snake

mohave rattler are deadly but small

they eat mainly rodent,small frog, bird

they bite are very painful

dusky pigmy rattler are the smallest rattler

There are several types of rattlesnakes, but the easiest way to identify them is by the rattles at the end of its tail and the arrowhead shape of its head.

usually sharp fangs

If you mean a 'rattlesnake' - see the image above

Rattle Snakes look like a regular snake. Except it looks like they have small pieces of corn on the rear end of their body.

Well, they all look different, but they have the tell tale rattle on their tails.

I don’t understand the question

No, there is no snake fast enough to strike at a bullet. If it did, it would die.

There are numerous species of Rattlesnakes and most of them are of the average size and weight. They are usually around 3 to 4 feet tall with some large adults growing to be above the 4 feet length. The Eastern Diamond back is the largest of the Rattlesnake species and is around 7 feet in average length and weight around 12 to 15 kilograms. All other Rattlesnake species are much smaller and lighter than the eastern diamondback.

The maximum reported total length is 189.2 cm (74.5 in) (Klauber, 1956). Holt (1924) mentions a large specimen caught in Montgomery County, Alabama, which had a total length of 159 cm (62.6 in) and weighed 2.5 kg (5.5 lb). Large specimens can reportedly weigh as much as 4.5 kg (9.9 lb).

Some species of snake lay eggs, but not the rattlesnake, they give birth to live young.

Rattlesnakes are sometimes available for sale on the Internet but prices vary according to species and current availability. Since these change quite frequently, you would do well to run a Google search of "Rattlesnakes for Sale" for current availability and price.

Snakes rarely attack humans without a reason of being scared, protecting themselves, or mistakening you for prey. Everday Garter snakes just slither away, but if cornered might bite your ankles. Luckily they aren't poisonous. Rattlesnakes, cobras, and other medium sized snakes will bite if you get to close to them. These kinds are poisonous, so its best to stay away. Cttonmouth snakes are one of the most dangerous and poisonous snakes of all, so look out for those. Some types of cobras spit venomous blood into their enemies' eyes, and it burns! They can spit from almost 20 feet away. Boa constrictors and anacondas most of the time are defending their nests or, even more commonly, mistaken you for prey.

If a rattlesnake dies a violent death, it is capable of delivering a nasty bite for a few hours after "dying." Even if the snake is decapitated, the head can still bite for some time afterwards.

There are 3 different kind of Diamondback Rattlesnakes

Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake Which colors consist of: brownish, brownish yellow, brownish gray or olive ground color.

Western Diamondback Rattlesnake which colors consist of: dusty looking gray-brown ground color, but it may also be pinkish brown, brick red, yellowish, pinkish or chalky white.

Red Diamondback Rattlesnake which colors consist of: Brownish Red, White, Creamy yellow, sometimes black.

There are only two diamondback rattlesnakes, the eastern and western. There is however, the red diamond rattlesnake, but it is not closely related to the true diamondbacks.

Rattlesnakes are not speed demons as most have a fairly heavy body not built for speed. However, the strike of a rattlesnake is faster than the punch of a boxer and may exceed 60 miles per hour.

Rattlesnakes, a kind of viper, have a very complex venom. Mostly, rattlesnake venom is a somatic toxin, which means it's not very neurotoxic, but instead attacks a lot of systems in the body.

The toxin contains enzymes that denature proteins and destroy collagen (a connective tissue) in a process that has similarity to digestion. Also, a large part of the toxin includes cellular destroyers which cause apoptosis (cellular self-destruction) and lysis (blood cell destruction). There is some neurotoxic effect in that it also contains acetylcholinesterase (ACE) that act to "turn off" straited muscles (like your arm or leg) and prevent turning on smooth muscles (like your blood vessels and heart).

There are many components and processes in viper herpetoxin that we don't understand yet.

As bad as all this sounds, very few rattlesnake bites result in a fatality, although tissue destruction (necrosis) is not uncommon in bites where toxin is delivered. About 20% of all Rattlesnake bites in America are "dry bites" in which no toxin is delivered.

It appears that the determinant factor that limits the amount of damage done in envenomating bites is the amount of time between the envenomation and medical (not first aid) treatment.

You can get an approximate age by counting the number of segments on the rattle. This is only a guide, however - as the snake adds a new segment each time it sheds its skin. Young snakes shed much more rapidly than older ones - sometimes three or four times in a year.

the way rattlesnakes survive in its the habitat is the rattle,venom,and the mostly common one almost every animal in the world should have is to camofluge in the enviorment arond it

No. Neither the Eastern Diamondback nor the Western Diamondback are endangered species. They have lost much of their habitat to human development, but there are still vast areas that they inhabit that are inhospitable to humans.

They have what can be called barbs all over their bodies. If you pet a snake going from the head to the tail they are nice and smooth but pet them going from the tail to the head and they feel prickly. These barbs help them hold onto things such as trees so they can climb

They are carnivores

Rattlesnakes are not in the Niagara Frontier, as I know, but there is such thing as a timber rattlesnake, which is occasionally found in the Southern Tier of New York, and Western Pennsylvania. So pretty much, it's not in Buffalo, but in the south Towns.
