Rattlesnakes

This entirely depends on what kind of snake it is.

There are different types of toxins: hemotoxins (blood toxins), neurotoxins (cause neurological damage), and many more.

Include the type of snake and I will respond</P>

Not necessarily coil. My Royal Pythons, at feeding time, just form their head and neck into a tight 'S' shape - lunging at the food item when it's dangled in front of them.

None at all,...they're carnivores exclusively, meat eaters.

the answer will be sharp jaws and speediness

It depends on the species of rattlesnake, where on the body you were bitten and how soon you receive proper medical treatment. Without proper treatment it would take a day or more to die. If the bite is from a species with a particularly strong venom, especially containing neurotoxins, death may come quite quickly.

Yes, there are a few species that meet that color scheme including the banded rock rattlesnake and the black-tailed rattlesnake.

No..They are sometimes killed by hawks, like redtailed hawks.

Baby rattlers are born with all the tools they need to survive, and began to move away shortly after birth.

yes
Yes. All snakes are carnivores.

Rattlesnakes rarely move more than a few hundred feet from their winter den.

The venom of a baby rattlesnake is the same as from an adult snake. However, an adult snake can control the amount of venom they inject and may not inject any venom during a bite (dry bite). They need the venom to obtain food and do not want to waist it to warn off a threat. When baby rattlesnakes bite they have not yet learned to control the flow of venom and will probably inject their entire supply and cause a more severe bite to the victim than an adult snake would.

Rattlesnakes will den up underground in caves or deadfalls, sometimes in large numbers to overwinter.

Every jurisdiction has different laws regarding the capture and sale of reptiles and rattlesnakes in particular. Some species are endangered or threatened and one can only collect these with a special permit. Some states forbid collection rattlesnakes completely. Check with your local game warden or search the regulations on the Internet for your particular location.

With proper and prompt medical treatment, the child will probably not die. Without treatment they will probably be dead within hours, less than a day.

Yes,because it is nonvenomous or toxic and they are easy to care for .All you need is an terrarium.

This snakes are found in western Mexico, from southern Sonora to Michoacán. They live in areas which are treeless, are covered in short grass, thorn bushes and have plenty of cactus.

Probably - since it will be able to feel the vibrations through the ground. However - it'll likely ignore it - just as us humans tend to ignore our own voices !

The eastern diamondback is endangered in some states, like North Carolina and Louisiana, but fairly common in others.

The pygmy rattlesnake, the canebrake rattlesnake and, possibly, the eastern diamondback are found in Louisiana. The diamondback may have been extirpated.

Nothing is ghostly about a dead rattlesnake . It is just a dead snake.

Rattlesnakes are not poisonous but they are venomous. A poison is something that must be ingested to do damage. A venom must be injected. Snake venom can be eaten and will cause no harm unless there is an open sore in the mouth or stomach that provides entry of the venom into the blood and tissues.

Neonate rattlers are miniatures of the adult snake except they do not yet have a set of rattles. In all other ways, they look the same as the adults but much smaller. They also come equipped with fangs and venom so are just as much a danger as are the adults.

There are NO rattlesnakes in Indiana, huh? Obviously, this person is not well researched or educated in the field of herpetology. YES, Indiana does have rattlesnakes in the Southern third of the state,(including Brown County) and IN THE EXTREME NORTHWEST OF THE STATE, BOTH (CROTALUS HORRIDUS , a.k.a. the Timber or Canebrake rattlesnake, and( Sistrurus Catanatus), the Massassauga Rattler for the northern part of IN. I personally have seen and dispatched more than one Timber Rattler in my own in my yard in Kentucky in the last 2 years,(and saw a 4 foot one in captivity in the science and nature center in Brown county, IN) and the one in my yard was almost 5 feet long.(yes, Fangs, buttons plus rattles, the whole nine yards. They are rather abundant, actually, along with copperheads, and if you travel to southwestern KY to the land between the lakes, you will also encounter (Sistrurs miliarus), the Pygmy rattler as well as (Agkistrodon Piscivorous), the Water Moccassin, A.K.A. the Cottonmouth. My suggestion is, get some experience time in the field, and study the range maps in field guides before you open that uneducated manure valve below your nose, and have someone else following your science of ignorance.

Rattlesnake are Carnivores. They consume Mice, Rats, Small Birds and other small rodents that inhabit the habitats they live in. They play an important ecological role by limiting the size of rodent populations in their ecosystems. Rattlesnakes lay motionless for their prey and kill it quickly with a venomous bite. Even if the prey is lucky enough to run off, it will die soon and the Rattlesnake will follow the scent and then swallow it. They are on top of their food chain, but they have some animals like the King Snake on top of it.

Yes.
