White Yard
i live in Trinidad and i recently found a black snake with a white belly in my yard. What is the name of it?
Also would such a snake as well as is it native to the Caribbean or South America. It looked a little bigger than half of a keyboard. Please someone answer this question when we tried to kill it, it struck us, so it is imperative we know how dangerous it is and if it has laid eggs and the such . Note where the black and white met it looked like the ridges and lines on a medical chart or the charts that measure earthquakes.
I think what you spotted is a black rat snake.
The Black Rat Snake is one of several subspecies of Rat Snakes (Yellow and Gray Rat Snakes are others). Rat Snakes are common throughout the eastern U.S., although the black subspecies of rat snake does not occur in Florida. This snake can be quite large (it may exceed six feet in length) and has slightly keeled scales (raised ridge along the middle of each scale) that make it appear somewhat rough. Its back is almost entirely black (small flecks of whitish color may show through the black), whereas its chin and belly have a lot of white markings.
These snakes are not poisonous at all so you dont have to worry about them. But a black rat snake will bite if threatened
