You could carve a form for it, or Apoxie Sculpt works good for stuff like that. But you could go through quite a bit on a big rattler.  And you can carve,cast or buy the head. 
If it was me, and it's a small enough snake (under 2 feet) I would make an apoxie sculpt body and cast the head.
Anything bigger I would carve or cast the head, and carve the form.

Bob  i took some of the water frezzer foam stuff that  you put on pipes in the winter and added some foam we use for bird necks  inside that stopped the kinking the hot glued the seam sued it as the back wrap and carved the rest from foam . head comes out and coils on top and the tail comes out the other side and comes up behind the head with the rattles in sight . looks cool . after it drys im going to drill small hole in the bottom of eye socket and insert a wire to hold the body up and epoxy the hole and tuch of paint    thanks  mark c
