The prairie rattlesnake is a venomous pit viper that lives across the Great Plains and the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. It is found in the western United States, southwestern Canada and northern Mexico. It shakes its tail to give a rattling warning when it feels threatened.1

Prairie rattlesnakes prefer dry areas with moderate vegetation. Many live in rocky areas with outcrops that serve as den sites. They also use the burrows of other animals and sometimes rest in crevices or caves.1

Prairie rattlesnakes mostly eat small mammals, such as ground squirrels, mice, rats, small rabbits and prairie dogs. They also sometimes eat ground-nesting birds, amphibians, reptiles and other snakes, especially juveniles.1

The venom is a complex mixture of proteins, including enzymes such as proteases and peptidases. It is hemotoxic, meaning it damages blood and destroys tissue. It also has neurotoxic properties, meaning it attacks the nerves.1

Nsɛm

Females often gather in communal dens to give birth and care for their young. Some females even look after unrelated young while the mothers take a break.1

Newborn snakelets measure 22 to 28 cm and are venomous from the moment they are born.1

Prairie rattlesnakes prefer a straight migration path, even in areas dominated by humans, because it gives them a better chance of survival.1

In Montana, the species reaches its largest size, with specimens sometimes exceeding 120 cm.1

In Canada, the species is listed as a species of special concern because its numbers have steadily declined since the 1930s.1
