G'day S.punga,

As others have said, there is definitely such a thing as a Blue Bellied Black Snake. It's more common name is Spotted Black Snake. They are fairly common in captivity, but are rarely bred due to the difficulties many keepers had several years ago in offloading elapids to other keepers.

They are a variable species, as are most elapids. You get them in a wide range of colours, ranging from jet black with no pattern whatsoever, through to black specimens mostly dominated by grey, brown, pink or sometimes even red speckling.

Take care,

Jonno
