Blue Bellies/Spotted Blacks come in a wide range of differing colour/patterns. the qld locale's are the best as I had an adult male that originated from western Qld that was actually mistaken by a number of top herpers as a inland taipan. I have also kept ones that are dull and plain. Beware, they are considered to be the most venomous of the black snake family, with extremely toxic venom... They have also fooled a number of keepers into a false security and suddenly explode in a violent attack. Im not saying they are all like this as my largest boy (that looked like the fiercey) was very calm even at feeding time. I found different locale specimens can tend to have different natures...

Along the same lines, I know of the bluebelly and the red belly, but are there yellow bellied black as well? I am sure there is but never seen one any one know?

I hear of them quite often but the best explanation I can give you is mistaken identities of discoloured red bellied blacks, copperheads with their vast colour variations can also be misidentified and occasionally brown snakes (pseudonaja) can come in a black variation and their belly varies from cream to yellow & orange blotches.

there is a yellow bellied black snake found in the hills behind the gold coast. I've seen them. Beautiful animal but it is actually a color morph of a gts.

lots of different snake species in oz can be black with a yellow belly, but there is no such snake as a yellow bellied black.

The oil's song "king of the mountain" has no doubt contributed to the myth of a YBB.
