Most baby snakes are referred to as hatchlings, but since rattlesnakes are ovoviviparous (live-bearing), they are probably called neonates. Once they are a little older, they would be called juveniles. Other than that, there are no "cute" names for baby snakes (like kit, pup, etc.) **Addition** It was always my understanding that buttons referred to the individual segments of the rattle (of which neonates have only one, not a full rattle.) One button is added to the rattle each time the snake sheds. I've never heard that term used to describe the whole snake before - now I'm very interested!! I'll have to look into that more.

Actually, you wouldn't call a baby rattlesnake a hatchling, because they give live birth, no egg to hatch from.
So yeah, a baby rattlesnake.

Like other snakes, a baby would be called a hatchling. When it gets older it would be a juvenile, then going onto an adult.
There's no specific name like you have with mammals, say, like a lamb or a calf.
Hope that helps :)
