It means “don’t tread on me”.

It means, don't tread on me, it was a call and symbol for the colonies to united or die in the face of tyranny.

The Colonials picked it as an emblem because rattlesnakes are generally harmless, inoffensive creatures—until trod upon.

Well, let's see... the snake is a rattler, unique to the American continent and deadly. The snake is divided into 13 sections representing the 13 colonies united for freedom. Off the top of my head ... does that make any sense?

“what does the snake stand for”

A rattlesnake is harmless unless you mess with it. Then it will kill you. As a Texan you should know that :)
