Rattlesnakes

It can depend. Usually, foxes would try to avoid snakes and snakes foxes. But, if the two were to get in a fight, there are too many variable to come up with an answer. Foxes can kill rattlesnakes, but it can also be the other way around.

The simple answer is - it doesn't !... Snakes are nomads - they don't build homes or make nests.

Rattlesnakes vary in size like any other animal. I've seen them as little as a few inches for the baby ones to over 7 feet long.

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.

Rattlesnakes are found from southern Canada, all the contiguous 48 states, all of Mexico and Central America as well as much of South America. They are found in no other continents beyond the Americas.

Rattlesnakes are found in a variety of habitats and not just deserts. They live in forests, mountains, wetlands, prairies and even in rain forests. Camels do not have to live in the desert but have adapted to do so. They, too, could live elsewwhere.

Rattlesnakes are not poisonous, they are venomous. If they are eaten, the venom causes no harm. The venom is only dangerous if it is injected or in some manner is absorbed into the tissues or blood of the victim. Some snakes, such as the kingsnake, are immune to the venom of rattlesnakes.

Eastern diamondback rattlesnakes, pygmy rattlesnakes, timber rattlesnakes and tropical rattlesnakes live in more humid and damp areas.

The button is the first segment of the rattlesnake when new born. As the snake ages it becomes the final segment on the rattle, at the very end.

The " Canebrake Rattlesnake", is a southern race of the timber rattlesnake, being somewhat paler and having a dark ventral line down the back.

From the moment a rattle snake hatches from its egg it is on it's own. The venom of a baby rattle snake is just as powerful as a full grown snake.

They dont they have eggs that hatch inside the mothers body;it is decided they have live birth

A rattlesnake could kill an animal the size of a horse or cow. However, it could not eat such a large animal. Its bite would be in self defense.

Young Rattlesnakes (less than 2 years old) are heavily preyed upon by numerous species like Ravens, Crows, Raccoons, Coyotes, Weasels etc. Even Adult Rattlesnakes are known to cannibalize youngsters. Adolescent Rattlesnakes (above 2 years) are preyed upon by larger predators like Eagles, Hawks, Badgers, Kingsnakes etc. Adult Rattle snakes have only one known predator the "Kingsnake" which is a constrictor. It is immune to the venom of Rattlesnakes and other Vipers and consumes them as a part of its natural diet.

See the image above of an eastern diamondback rattlesnake.

No, Rattlesnakes are carnivores. i.e they eat other animals. They usually eat rodents, but they eat whatever they can shove down their throat.

It would depend on the snake, or more importantly where the snake.

A rattlesnake bite in Canada will make you sick, but the furture south you go and the hotter the climate the more poisonous things become. Snakes in Texas can kill you with one bite. Snakes that live right at the equator are among the deadliest.

actually, I think the answer shes looking for is... 1 Bite can kill a grown man in 12 minutes if not treated quckly. the EXACT dosage depends on the stature of the person

There are two separate issues here: # The venom of a rattlesnake needs to be injected into the bloodstream to work. If you drink it instead, since it's a protein your body treats it like any other protein and digests it. As long as you don't have open sores in your mouth or stomach (ulcers), the protein cannot get into your bloodstream before it's digested and rendered harmless. # Some kinds of venom can be used to make antivenin, a medicine to protect against the venom itself. However, antivenins are generally injected; you don't drink them, as again they're proteins and would simply be digested without doing you any good. It's possible that certain venoms are used orally in certain kinds of what's usually called "traditional medicine," herbalism, or homeopathy. They don't do any harm for reason 1 above. They also probably don't do any good for reason 1 above, and any benefit derived from the practice is most likely due to the placebo effect.

Some hunt them for the meat and skin, others capture them to obtain their venom, which is used in the manufacture of antivenin, to treat snakebite.

There are no poisonous snakes in the Texas Panhandle. However, there are two species of venomous snakes - the prairie rattlesnake and the western diamondback rattlesnake.

Rattlesnakes have lungs and gas exchange occurs there.

UP To 25 eggs inside the Mother {Female Rattlesnake} The Female Gives Live Birth Of Up to TEN, Ready to Go Young Rattlers ,Also Many of The Rattlers will Not Survive The First Year, Due to Other Wildlife and Even Other Venomous Snakes Preying on Smaller Vipers and Snakes .

They live in southern California, part of northern California, and Mexico. All these places are hot or humid.

Desert or scrubland areas, rocky areas, forested areas, etc. Their habitat and range tends to vary based on the area of the Americas the snake is native to.

Rattlesnakes of one species or another are found over much of the US, Mexico, and Central America. Some live in western deserts and mountains, others, like the eastern diamondback are snakes of the southeastern coastal plain. The timber rattlesnake (or canebrake rattler) is found over a large section of the eastern and midwestern US, found in mountainous regions and swamplands, coastal pine forests.

Sufficient food, water and sunshine as well as shelter from adverse weather and predators keep the rattlesnake content and healthy.
