That damn snake was close to three foot as well and just sprang out of no where near a bush in my backyard, no rattle nothing. To bad I had to kill the thing to bring to the ER with me.

Oh, yeah, the rattle is their way of warning you but if you suddenly come upon one or startle the snake they will just turn and strike. You are definitely lucky the snake didn't feel threatened enough to release the venom, though.
