  1. Red bellied, 'Black Snake'


  2. The answer can be the following:

    1. THE RED BELLIED BLACK SNAKE.

    The Red Bellied Black Snake grows to about three feet in length. Its upper surface is glossy black and its underside is red. It is found near streams and lagoons of eastern Australia. It hunts by day, feeding on frogs, small mammals and other reptiles. Its venom is dangerous to man.

    2. THE RED BACKED SPIDER (I know there is no mention of the word "black" in the creatures name, but it is black in colour

    Red-back Spiders are related to the  Black Widow Spider.  They are brownish black  with an obvious orange to red stripe on the upper abdomen and an "hourglass" shaped spot on the underside of the abdomen. Females have a body about the size of a large pea and slender legs.

    Red-back bites occur frequently, but only the female bite is dangerous. They can cause serious illness and have caused deaths. Because of their small jaws many bites are ineffective. Common early symptoms are pain (which can become severe), sweating (always including local sweating at bite site), muscular weakness, nausea and vomiting. An antivenene is available. No deaths have occurred since its introduction.

    I should also mention that FUNNEL WEB SPIDERS, TAIPANS AND TIGER SNAKES also come in black, if that is helpful to you

  3. Black snake - the red belllied black is one nasty critter.

  4. Red bellied black snake, maybe?  They're also called the common black snake.
