It has a cylindrical body with a blunt head and tail, and a dark brown or black color with red, yellow or gray spots.
It can grow up to one meter long and burrows in the ground.
It has no labial pits or palatal teeth, unlike other boids.
It is named after the Danish herpetologist Johannes Theodor Reinhardt.

Some of the distinctive features of the Calabaria are its cylindrical body, its blunt head and tail, its lack of palatal teeth and labial pits, and its speckled color pattern.
