How do you tell the difference between a rattlesnake and a bull snake?

Rattlers have a heavier body than bull snakes, they have a wide triangular head while the bull has a narrow, pointed head. The rattler has a rattle on its tail while the bull has none. However, bull snakes can imitate the rattler and will vibrate their tail. If the snake is in dry leaves or grass, it sounds just like a rattlesnake.
