the yellow bellied black as far as i know was a miss interpritation of a tiger snake morph. i think theres a tiger snake (dont ask me what one as i dont know much about elapids) thats black with a yellow belly but i dont know if its a wild type or if its a bred morph.

It dosnt matter what part of oz you live in as theres always talk of the fabled "yellow bellied black" in each part of oz they are different snakes infact you can get a number of different species in the same area that can be black with a yellow belly, but there is no such snake in australia as a yellow bellied black snake.
