There is an extremely rare snake that is a blueish black in color, the Eastern Indigo Snake (Drymarchon coupen - meaning Lord of the Forest) these snakes are found in sandhill plant communities in the US, particularly Florida and Georgia.

Another common black snake is a Black Rat Snake (Pantherophis obsoletus) which can also be known as a Pilot Black Snake or just plain Black Snake, this snake is also found in the US and Canada. The Black Rat Snake has been known to grow up to 8 feet long making it the largest snake in Canada.
