If you are not sure where to find them or what they look like, you probably shouldn't be looking for them. At the rate you are going, the moment when you find them is when you get bit and poisoned....stay away and just look at web images.

Looking for rattlesnakes, are you ? How about a geographical location ? Hawaii, Alaska and Maine the chances are slim to none. Not knowing where you are hunting, the only suggestion I could come up with is a rural area where there might be some rock outcrops where they might " hide". Dens are another matter but can be found in the spring in most northern areas. (Texas does not have much of a winter and the dening areas can be almost anywhere ). I would also suggest that before you start collecting venomous reptiles that you check state, county and city regulations as well as the consequences of a bite. THE BITE IS NO FUN and can be expensive.

A yahoo search will lead you to pictures of rattlesnakes. There are different kinds that can look somewhat different. They do not all have rattlers by the way. However they are all poisionous and will all bite with little or no provocation especially iof they are surprised. Going looking for them may not be a very good idea especially since you do not know a lot about them yet. You might try calling your state fish and wildlife dept - it may also be called dept. of natural resources- and see if there is a free or inexpensive course you can take that will teach you about snakes. Please do not go off looking for rattlers alone. If you are deternined to go find some wear heavy protective boots, long pants and do not pick them up. Make sure the person with you has a cell phone and that you are in range to call for help if you happen to get bitten. Rattlesnake bites can make a person very ill and can even kill.

What reason do you have for wanting to look for rattlesnakes anyway? Rattlesnakes will try to stay out of the way of humans if they can, and they are beneficial creatures that eat a lot of vermin. There's no good reason to search for them to kill them, and there's no good reason for anyone who doesn't have a legitimate scientific purpose and experience in snake handling, to be out trying to find them and mess with them.
Heres some more information on rattlesnakes.

Georgia and Florida swamps, their dens can be found by stomping wildly around blindly until you feel a sharp stabbing pain and you begin to feel faint while your heart is racing until you pass out and some lone hunter finds your remains a couple years later. Or better yet, use that runt kitten you were given to find them by thrashing the swamp with him until he gets bit.

First of all you have lost your mind if you want to go find rattle snakes. You well probably get killed if you go searching for trouble. Please, do not search out rattle snakes it sound like you have no clue on the snake, if you are asking where to find them.
