That rather depends on the species of snake you mean ! Some species (such as the blind snakes) weigh no mew than a few grams - even at their adult size of around 8 inches. At the other end of the scale - a fully grown Reticulated Python would tip the scales at more than 165 lbs (75 kg) at their adult size of around 21 feet (6.5 m)

As a baby, they weigh under a pound, approximately several ounces. As a juvenile/adolescent, they usually weigh around 1-1.5 pounds, and as an adult can weigh from 2-4 pounds, depending on the individual snake's health and food consumption.

a baby will weigh less than a full grown and if it has eaten. also the type of snake will vary its weight. also the sex of the snake will vary its size which means the weight will change.

What is a plain black slender snake with a rattle on its tail?

There is no single snake that fits this description. There is the Arizona black rattlesnake but it is a heavy-bodied snake as are most rattlesnakes. (See image above.) There is, however, the black rat snake which is long and slender. It does not have a rattle. However, when frightened it will vibrate its tail much like a rattlesnake, and this can sound like a real rattler if the snake happens to be on some dry leaves.
