Rattlesnakes

Every snakes skin shed looks kinda silvery when it is really fresh. As the shedded skin ages it turn a dirty yellow color.

It depends on the species, the amount of venom injected, and health of the victim.

The eastern diamondback, the largest species, injects larger amounts of venom, and could kill in a matter of hours. The Mojave has the most toxic venom, ounce for ounce, and could also kill in that amount of time.

No - all snakes are carnivores. They would never eat mushrooms as part of their natural diet.

None. Rattlesnakes are a New World family of snakes. In the pit viper group along with cottonmouths and copperheads.

Sort of. All snakes, not just rattlesnakes, and some lizards have a Jacobson's organ on the roof of the mouth. Reptiles with this trait flick the tongue out to gather scents and then flick them into the Jacobson's organ.

There isn't one as rattlesnakes are not found in Africa. They occur only in North, South and Central America.

Only a large, very large, rattlesnake could eat an adult prairie chicken. That pretty much rules out anything but a large western or eastern diamondback.

Rattlesnakes, like all vertebrates, have bilateral symmetry. This means they have symmetry across one plane (known as the sagittal plane, and directly down the centre of their body), which means one side of their body approximately mirrors the other side.

They attack by biting you with poisonous fangs

The berries attract small animals and birds which the rattlesnake will attempt to kill for food. The snake has no interest in the berries as they do not eat any plant matter.

Yes, there are rattlesnakes in the Blue Hills area of Boston as well as copperheads. In 2015 a 5 foot timber rattlesnake was found there just outside an office building.

Rattlesnake venom breaks down the walls of glomerulus. The glomerulus is part of the nephron which is located in tour kidneys. The glomerulus filters your blood and the un needed material gets sent to the bowmans capsule in the nephron. The the gunk from the bowmans capsule makes its way into the urine. So when a rattlesnake bites you the blood goes right into you bowmans capsule making its way into the urine.

there are certain snakes that do get there venom extracted for medicinal purposes i am sure one of them israttlesnakes where do you think you get the anti-venom its pulled from there venom and the chemical is used to help find the cure.

The Rockport Rattler jig received it's Patent Allowable from the US Patent Office in September 2009 and was invented by Pro Saltwater Fishing Guide Capt. Rex Harrison Hoyt and he introduced the first rattling jig head to both freshwater and saltwater anglers with not only a sound producing loud 5 MM glass rattling chamber designed where the jigs hook amplifies the sound out side the soft plastics; - but, also with various jig head colors to match or contrast with the color of your soft plastic and complete with eyes that are either red or gold diamond cut glass eyes that reflect light or 3D Eyes that actually move in a clear housing giving the red head RR jigs more buoyancy

The Rockport Rattler jig combines sound, color and light reflecting diamond cut glass eyes or realistic moving 3D eyes that gives every angler that uses it an advantage over an angler using a conventional jig or screw lock jig that doesn't make noise.

The Rockport Rattlers are coated with our clear coating called Flexi-Glue, which is a patentable trade secret. It hardens up, and continues to harden like concrete does. This clear coating protects the integrity of the eyes and the lure color.

There are three important qualities that make the Rockport Rattler the most effective jig on the market today.

1) Sound:
The Rockport Rattler jigs are designed so at there is no lead to muffle the sound. The rattle chamber is flush with the hook, and therefore the hook acts as an amplifier to amplify the sound. Exactly like on a submarine where the sound is amplified and transmitted by a thin wire around the rest of the sub. Therefore the Rockport Rattler is actually louder than a glass rattle by itself or inserted into a soft plastic.

2) Eyes:
While sound from a Rockport Rattler jig will attract fish, the eyes make it a more realistic presentation when the game fish finds it. Eyes are very important to a lure. The large Wild Eyes actually move and make a little rattle sound themselves to go with the rattling chamber; and the red and gold diamond cut eyes reflect light. You'll find that in muddy water you may have trouble seeing your lure, but the light reflected off the red or gold diamond cut glass eyes is quite visible in muddy water.

3) Color:
The different colored Rockport Rattler jigs allow you to match the jig color to your soft plastic color or give it some contrast. This gives an angler more versatility with his soft plastic game. This also makes a lure more natural looking than having just a piece of lead in front of an expensive soft plastic.

Since May 2003 the Rockport Rattler jigs have caught a variety of species of fish in both saltwater and fresh water from the elusive Trophy Speckled Trout, Redfish, Flounder, Snook, Kingfish, Shark, Black Drum, Tarpon, Grouper , Cobia and freshwater Bass.

Sound is one of the most important qualities of any lure:

The Rockport Rattler jig was developed to make sound to attract trout, redfish, and flounder when fishing with soft plastic lures.

Sound and the ability to "hear" are what redfish, speckled trout and fish in general depend on for survival and spawning.

The timber rattlesnake is the only rattlesnake located in the northeastern U.S. This species of venomous snake can also be found from northern Florida to southern New Hampshire and from southern Minnesota to eastern Texas.

no because they are immune to their own venom

yes they accually do but they mostly eat road kill.
coyotes actually do eat rattlesnakes but its mostly roadkill

Rattlesnakes are vipers so would be related to any other species of viper elsewhere in the world.

Rattlers are pit vipers, they have a heat sensory organ in the tiny pit between the nostrils and eyes on the side of the head. The tongue tastes the air as it is flicked in and out. Both of these in conjunction allow them to find their prey.

They shed skin randomly according to age, size, temperature, humidity, and abundance or shortage of food.

No, but foxes may eat rattlesnakes at times.

Yes, they can receive antivenin multiple times as long as they have not developed an allergy to it. In such a case, the antivenin could kill the patient.
