Um, ... that answer doesn't explain the original question.
The correct answer is that people wishing to append to the topic did NOT "append."
OK.
I like rattlesnakes, they're very useful creatures, dining on mice, rats etc..
I'm especially fond of them when they're not coiled, and are seen witth the rattle part sliding away from me into the sand dune. appended and ammended.officially.
One question though for the experts. At what elevation will a person NOT find rattlesnakes?

ObDisclaimer: Not an expert.
Rattlesnakes are said to be found up to the 11,000 foot level.
In my hiking, I've never seen any evidence of them over 9,000 ft.
Since they need some external warmth to help them out, I would
think that the cooler nights above 9k ft would tend to keep them
out of that elevation and above.
If one doesn't want them around, it's best to keep the weeds
and clutter NOT near where you don't want them.

Mortimer may be correct for threads 2-5. I believe the purpose of the 6th may have been satirical. If this thread remains as the only [and OFFICIAL] rattlesnake thread, I'm sure the OP would be honored.

I have heard they do not live above 9,000 ft. but given the right conditions (south facing, dry slopes) I don't see why they might not occasionally be found above that. In the other direction, I don't think they are found under the sea. If you want to avoid rattlesnakes, try Maine or Alaska since I believe those are the only two states without them.
Just a big lovable warm and fuzzy blue guy -- that's our mortimer.
