This prairie rattlesnake is poised to strike. Adult rattlesnakes, unlike juveniles, are able to regulate the amount of venom in their bites

Rattlesnake venom is extremely potent, containing hemotoxins and sometimes neurotoxins.


Western Diamondback Rattler at Rest

Small mammals, birds, and other reptiles are the preferred food of western diamondback rattlesnakes. In leaner times, the snake is able to go without eating for long periods (up to two years), reducing its activity and making it rely on fat reserves for energy.

Coiled Western Diamondback Rattler

Western diamondbacks are among the most aggressive species of rattlesnakes and have a striking distance up to 66 percent of their body length. They do not shy away from confrontation, and their bites have been the cause of several recorded deaths.

Western Massasauga Rattlesnake

The western Massasauga rattlesnake is one of the smaller rattlers. Compared to other larger rattlesnakes, its venom is more toxic, but it delivers less venom per bite.
