==Strategies==
As a auxiliary plant in terms of its function, it is not recommended to be planted at the very beginning of a level; instead it should be used later when your sun production is enough, at which point replace some sun producers with rattlesnake. It is not recommended to replace all sun producers as it possess the property of enabling a second tail when above three sun producers is surrounding him.
