    Here am I buying dead things again. but you don't see a rattlesnake in a box everyday. Looks a bit like one of the borrowable pieces they have at the LA County museum, The case is 12" x 12" with glass on all sides and the top. There is no way to open it. The snake looks to be about 3 feet long. It could easily eat a rat and of course a dangerous bite. The fangs are close to a half inch long.
    Not exactly sure which spicies as it has faded a bit. Looks like perhaps a western diamondback or a Pacific.
    Also this seems to be freeze dried as the ribs are showing through at a few point.

      Maybe the snake that persuaded Eve to eat an apple from the tree of knowledge ? ...

      Golgatha,,,Mmmm, funny you should write that
      Because Golgatha is the name of the mount where
      Jesus was crucified ,,,As far as the snake. and Eve
      That was a talking serpent,,this snake uses a rattling
      To let its victims know to live in fear + end near
      What a life it would have been
      Without the knowledge of
      evil and Good,,they always knew Good
      The serpent introduced evil ,What say Ye ?
      Remember also the serpent s punishment
      from God was that he slither on his Belly
      From now on
