I have also never seen a snake raise it's tail and shake it like that.

I don't know guys, but a 3 foot "baby" rattler sounds more like an adult to me...and thus should have had more than one rattle on it's tail.
Just today, our here in the desert arid region of Washington state (where we do have these nasty bastards), we caught one at work while unloading a 12 ton trailer of sugar snap peas. Around here, 18" is a big one and this dude had 5 rattles on him. Of course, he's dead now. Don't need him slithering around and biting the employees.
