Rattlesnakes

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.

The Diamondback is currently open at Kings Island.

As with other snakes, the tongue is about as long as its' head.

Rats... that's why it's called a rat snake.

No. The record rattler was an eastern diamondback killed in North Carolina in 1959. It was eight feet in length.

No - it's simply an indication of how many times the snake has shed !

It depends on the size of the snake. It should have a cage at least the length of the snake.

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.

They use there rattles by simply moving the muscle in there tail. They use it to scare away predators.

Rattlesnakes are carnivores - they are meat-eaters.

There are four species of rattlesnake with the black and white bands on the tail - the eastern diamondback, the western diamondback, the red diamondback and the Mojave rattlesnake. The bands indicate nothing about the age of the snake. They have the same number of bands as adults that they had when newborn.

Small lizards, small rodents, birds, bird eggs, but I would say rodents are the most commonly consumed of the list.

The rattle on a rattlesnake is used by the snake to warn potential predators that the snake is there and he will bite. Rattlesnakes get a new segment on their rattle every time they shed their skin, typically only a few times a year.

Yes, that was one of the primary methods for getting it out.

Rabbits and prairie dogs are food sources for larger rattlesnakes. Rattlesnakes sometimes use prairie dog burrows for shelter.

rattlesnakes live on the continents of north america and south america.

The northern copperhead.

I am not sure what you mean by eastern rattlesnake as there is no such species. There is the eastern diamondback rattlesnake and the eastern massasauga rattlesnake and neither is found in Kentucky. The timber rattlesnake, however, is found there.

Rattlesnakes are usually secondary consumers. They feed on primary consumers, such as rodents.

What are abiotic and biotic factors of a eastern diamondback rattlesnake

The skin texture of almost any snake is dry, smooth and somewhat silky, with a very slight sense of pebbly texture from the snake's scales.

A human can easily outrun a rattlesnake. However, the strike of a rattlesnake is quite rapid.

This particular snake is highly venomous. The venom spread quickly, so if bitten remain calm and get to the nearest ER as soon as possible.

There is no powder on a rattlesnake's rattle so the answer is no.
