The blue bellied black snake (Pseudechis guttatus), also known commonly as the spotted black snake, is a species of venomous snake in the family Elapidae The spotted black snake is native to the open woodlands, grasslands and Savannah’s of northern New South Wales and Southern Queensland These venomous snakes use their potent venom to hunt everything from frogs to mammals to other venomous snakes Unlike their cousin the red bellied black snake, who gives birth to live young, the blue bellied black snake lays eggs. Considering the black snake family includes both the red bellied black snake and blue bellied black snake it’s understandable many people ask about the yellow bellied black snake however such a species does not exist!
