1 Rattlesnakes rattle by shaking the rings at the end of their tails. 2  Water moccasins' mouths have a white, cottony lining.  Coral snakes have red, yellow and black rings along the length of their bodies.
Segments of the rattle break periodically, and longer rattles do not necessarily produce louder sounds. When the apparatus is shaken at high speed, a buzz or rattling sound is created; rattlesnakes have three sets of dedicated, tail-shaking muscles in their tail.Two of the muscle groups pull the tail to each side, and a third set of muscles allows the ventral surface to be aimed in either direction.hen the apparatus is shaken at high speed, a buzz or rattling sound is created; rattlesnakes have three sets of dedicated, tail-shaking muscles in their tail.
