If a rattlesnake totally exhausts its venom supply it will take several weeks to fill its venom sacs again. This is why rattlesnakes do not want to use their venom in defense as it may leave them with an insufficient supply for obtaining food.

Rattlesnakes will bite the squirrel to inject venom. The rattlesnake will let go of the animal and allow it to run away and die from the venom. The snake will come back later following the heat signal it picks up and will devour the squirrel in a matter of minutes.

People used to suck out the venom through the bite. This wasn't always effective though. They could never get all the venom out. The venom would usually spread through the body not long afterwards.

How fast can a coral snake kill you?

Generally , depending on the size of the actual snake , and the amount of venom it secretes into your bloodstream , anywhere from 1-2 hours . If the victim is very young or old/sick , death can occur within 30 minutes . Most snake bites are dry bites , meaning they do not inject venom when they strike . But without proper medical attention , the hemotixic venom will break down tissue and you could actually bleed to death internally from the anti-coagulant properties of Rattlesnake venom .


Do you die quickly if a rattlesnake bites you?

It depends on the species of rattlesnake, where on the body you were bitten and how soon you receive proper medical treatment. Without proper treatment it would take a day or more to die. If the bite is from a species with a particularly strong venom, especially containing neurotoxins, death may come quite quickly.

When does a rattlesnake kill its prey?

The snakes remain in hiding and ambushes any potential prey that passes by. When a prey gets close enough the snake will strike out and inject venom. They quickly release the animal and wait for the venom to take affect. Then they use the scent trail left by the dying prey to locate it. Once they find it they swallow the animal head first.
