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

I have caught heaps up here in the Upper Hunter in the past, they are beautiful snakes when smaller but as nuthn2do states, not so flash after about 3ft. The largest p.guttatus I have caught though would only be about 4ft (1.2m) I haven't seen them reach anywhere near there red-bellied cousins.

Blue Bellied Blacks or Spotted Blacks (Pseudechis guttatus)
More venomous than Red bellied I have been told by a friend their bite is extremely painful due to the flesh destroying components of their venom which is common to black snakes.
I bred them last season but unfortunately I stuffed up & I got to the eggs to late.
Hopefully I will succeed this coming season.
