"Snake flag" of Martinique.

"Snake flag" of Martinique.

The snake flag of Martinique has no official status on the island. It is a historical flag dating from an edict issued 4 August 1766, specifying that vessels of the French Colony of Martinique and Saint Lucia should fly a version of the French ensign, which at the time was a white cross on a blue field, with L-shaped (for Lucia) snakes in each quarter of the cross.

The snakes are trigonocéphale vipers (Bothrops lanceolatus) native to Martinique.
