The Calabar Burrowing Python is small, averaging around three feet as a mature adult. The body is cylindrical and the head and tail are both blunt. They have small eyes and smooth scales. The Calabar Burrowing Python's body is usually an auburn color, with markings of orange, beige or yellow. The head and tail are both brown, sometimes with bands of white. The blunt tail, along with the white bands when present, make the tail and head very hard to tell apart. The average mature Calabar Burrowing Python reaches somewhere between 2 and 2.5 feet in length. It is rare that they will exceed 3 feet in length.
