Red-bellied Black Snake plushie

Red-bellied black snakes are native to eastern Australia, commonly found in woodlands, forests, and swamps. These medium-sized venomous snakes have a glossy black upper body and a distinctive red or crimson underside. They are often seen near water sources, where they hunt for frogs, fish, and small mammals.

Although their venom is potent, red-bellied black snakes are generally shy and avoid confrontation with humans. Females give birth to live young, with litters ranging from 8 to 40 snakelets. These snakes play an essential role in controlling pest populations and maintaining the balance of their ecosystems. Conservation efforts focus on preserving their natural habitats and mitigating human-wildlife conflict.
