Do rattlers have a replenishing supply of venom or is there a limited amount that can be used in a lifetime?

Their venom supply is constantly replenished. After they are milked for instance, it takes about 2 weeks for them to fully replenish their supply. They also constantly rotate out their fangs, just like a shark does with their teeth.

Venom glands are modified salvary glands. They constantly produce venom like humans constantly produce saliva.
