Issued as part of the ongoing Bicentennial celebration, the 13Â¢ State Flags pane was a first in U.S. history. This was the first time a pane with 50 face-different stamps was issued.
NON-VENOMOUS. NON-VENOMOUS. Description: A greenish-brown snake with a diamond-like pattern on its back and dark bars on the sides of its body. The belly scales are yellow with dark markings on the sides. Males are smaller and thinner than females and they have small bumps on their chin.
For what it's worth, the snake in the picture looks to be a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake, Crotalus atrox. This species does occur in southern Texas and Mexico, but the largest ever found was around seven feet long. That's about half the size of the imaginary number attached to the photo. Don't believe it.
