In the field, Crotalus adamanteus is estimated to live an average of ten years or more and up to 20 years (Studenroth, 2001). The Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake possesses very few enemies as an adult, with only deer, pigs, and humans documented as killers of an adult snake. The name adamanteus is Latin meaning diamond or lozenge-shaped, referring to the shape of the dorsal body markings (McCranie, 1980).
