    Highly unlikely. If you had a still, would you want it full of silent rattlesnakes?
    It is what it is.

    It's okay as long as you bite it off while it's rattling Just kidding!

    Birth defects are known to occur from time to time throughout the animal kingdom. A rattler without a rattle could be an example.

    I'm about as far from a snake expert as one can get, but the OP's picture seems to show a snake with damage/injury to the end of its body, not a cleanly-removed rattle. The last few inches of its body are blackened and of smaller diameter (more than just from tapering), as if run over by a car on a newly-paved asphalt road. JMO.
