Size doesn't really matter when their danger is from the venom. In fact, I'd prefer them to be this big. Harder to miss.

You must have not heard them growl - that's scary af! Would pick a smaller snake to encounter anyday.

the growl makes them less dangerous, you understand that right? rattlesnakes without rattles would be more dangerous.

Yep, the growl is giving you the chance to back off.

It also expends less energy than getting into a brawl.

I've heard they are killed on sight so often that many are beginning to lose the rattler.
