Age of rattlesnake with 15 rattle plus 1 button

HI THERE

THERE ARE Many varieties of rattlesnakes have pit viper characteristics and a button on the tail (youngest snakes), plus two to four segments of rattles for each year of age. The size range of rattlesnakes is 15 to 72 inches,           ... I AM NOT INTERESTED IN SNAKES, BUT LOOKED UP FOR YOU

GOD BLESS

Guess my age and I won't bite you!

If you take the number of rattles, double it, then multiply by your age round to the nearest decade divided by the number of buttons and finally multiply by zero, then add 5 you should be reasonably close.

If you are not into math, you will be pleased to know that one cannot determine the age of a snake (with the exception of Den Stabler), unless you know the year in which he was born.

I am so gload I had a chance to help.

Rattlesnakes add another rattle every time they shed their skin. This can be as many as five times a year. During their lifespan, the rattles will break off due to age and dryness. So it is usually impossible to tell their age by this method.
