FACT - Since Rattlesnakes for the most part, eat rodents, this means that they are active during the night. Rattlesnakes like to hunt at night when the cooler air makes the heat image of the mammal stand out from its surrounding environment.

List of Atractaspidid species and subspecies
Atractaspididae - This family includes many genera formerly classed in other families, on the basis of fang type. It includes fangless (aglyphous), rear-fanged (opisthoglyphous), fixed-fanged (proteroglyphous), and viper-like (solenoglyphous) species. Molecular and physiological data linking this family to others is ambiguous and often contradictory, which means the taxonomy of this family is highly contentious. The nominate family, Atractaspididae has itself been moved to and from other taxa, reinforcing the ambiguity of this family.
