Verified The Calabar Python (Calabaria reinhardtii) is a small snake (1 metre/39 inches long) native to West and Central Africa. Its common name is a misnomer, it is actually a species of boa. Unlike most boas, they lay one to three enormous eggs that may represent up to half of the female's body weight.
