Snake'a Terminal Rings A rattlesnake acquires from two to four rings a year. Under normal conditions a ring is added each time the snake sheds its skin and, contrary con-trary to the general belief that this occurs only once a year, the usual number of sheddings or slough in gs each year is three. A rattle seldom contains more than 12 rings because the vibration at the tip of the tail is so great that terminal rings are worn down or broken off.
