They have a neurotoxic venom that is EXTREMELY potent, probably one of the worst as far as crotalids go.
A bite would certainly prove life-threatening.
Individuals vary, some won't rattle at all, and some can be p!ssy. They get large and have a tremendous feeding response.

Depends on what exact species your refering to, as the southern populations have a presynaptic neurotoxins while the northern populations have procoagulants, haemorrhagins, and cytotoxins.

These rattlesnakes, also known as the South American Rattlesnake, reach a max. length of 5-6 feet and have an alarmingly far - flanking strike range and often strike in rapid sucession biting from the ankle to the hip.
