Habitat
Rattlesnakes live in many types of habitats, such as mountains, deserts, and grasslands. (Rattlesnake1) They also live in forests. They don't migrate so they don't live outside out of their habitat they are born from. The habitat they live in needs to be warm because they are ectotherms (cold blooded) Rattlesnakes live in North and South America, especially in the southwestern U.S. and Mexico. ( Rattlesnake 3) But they also don't live with any other rattlesnake even if they are the same kind.
