The Diamondback Rattlesnake is a creature of beauty and power. It has magnificently placed diamonds on its back and powerful fangs that can strike at any time. Even though their beautiful, they are feared as overly dangerous because of their venom.
Diamondbacks are family of the viperidae, more commonly known as the snake family. The eastern Diamondbacks can exceed the ten feet length while it’s relative, western Diamondbacks, can only reach seven feet, and unlike the black tail and rock rattler, it tends to coil when it feels threatened. They do this do because when they coil, it gives them the advantage of striking, which is as fast as the blink of an eye.
Of course the first thing you are going to look for are diamonds, but there are three other things can help identify the snake. Diamondbacks have a triangular head. It has black stripes to its jaw. also the snake has black and white patterns …show more content…
They can also live below sea level for 200 meters.The rattle sounds like an indian spirit chant, because it slows, then speeds up for three beats, and slows for three beats. This is significant because no other snake can perform this. The venom of both Diamondback(western and eastern) is hemotoxic. And they like to stay in some dark places, but where they can still get heat, but they use the dark to their advantage so they can strike. The female can also lay up to twenty-four eggs, but only fourteen hatch. Reproduction is sexual.
So far the Diamondback species is not endangered so far. The diamondbacks do have many predators, such as deer, antelope,eagles. Diamondback usually live in a cave or rocky recess for hibernation. They can also live up to twenty years.The female does not care for the young. The young have to learn how to hunt on their own. It likes it’s habitat dry so it absorb more heat, because they are cold blooded. They also move to areas that match their scale colors, for better
