The rattle is composed of keratin, the same istance that forms human hair and nails, the thers of birds, and the horns of cattle. Young tlesnakes are born with a thin, rounded termi-; on the tail, but this first rattle is lost when little snake sheds its skin. Subsequently each dding adds a new rattle. When young, a ke sheds three or more times a year; when lit, once or twice a year. Successive rattle ments are loosely interlocked with their predecessors by means of grooves and constrictions. The tail vibration causes impacts between adjacent segments, resulting in the characteristic hissing sound.
