I think I know the photo you saw, and it’s a yellow-tail cribo.
They are actually black, grey, or brownish and yellow. Some photos capture iridescence and makes the black appear blue.

These are the largest and as a general rule the most aggressive of the indigo snakes and cribos.

I would recommend any members of this group for a beginner, and this would be the worst choice of the group for a beginner. An 8’ eating machine that wants to take your face off may not be the best bet for a beginner!

If you are truly a beginning snake keeper, a few good choices for first snakes are: corn snakes, many of the common kingsnakes subspecies, (especially California kings), and rosy boas.
