Rattling sound

When I watched TV a while ago, I saw on National Geographic that rattlesnakes are evolving because of humankind.

The rattling sound should scare creatures away, but now this sound is working against them. People are using this rattling sound to hunt the snakes down. So now this rattling sound is more like a weakness to them. Some rattlesnakes no longer make the rattling sound. They said this was quite a surprise, because normally an evolution like this should take at least more than a thousand years. 23:08, 3 august 2010 (CEST) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.170.219.106 (talk)

Physical Characteristics?

This seems like a well-researched article, but I was hoping to learn a little bit more about some more mundane things, like the average size (length and weight), lifespan and the markings characteristic of the different species and subspecies. (Note that this information isn't contained on the linked page listing the different species and subspecies.)
