Blue-bellied black snake
The blue-bellied black snake is a venomous snake from eastern Australia. It is shy and usually moves away from people, but its venom is strong, so it is important to know what it looks like. Bites are rare.1

- Its underside is dark grey to black.1

Dintlha
Its venom is the second most toxic of all the Australian black snakes.1
It is naturally very shy and will usually try to escape rather than confront people.1
Some individuals have a spotted pattern, which is why it is also called the spotted black snake.1
Like most snakes, it lays eggs, with a clutch of 7–12 in the breeding season.1
