To the best of my knowledge no animals are allowed to be exported from Gambia. I have never seen any, nor been offered any in 20 Years.
This is almost always a sign that the Government does not allow live exports. |

I would take Peters advice on the national legalities 
Boscs and royal pythons are already imported in huge numbers and at a very cheap price so would not be economically viable (don't forget export tax/import tax, shipping costs as well as any handling fees) for you unless you were planning on bringing in a lot of individuals

I'd say don't even bother trying. Most adverts you see for African animals for sale are scams to steal your money. Even if it wasn't you are unlikely to get permits as PeterF say's. Just supposing you did get permits and were not ripped off, it would still be far far cheaper to buy from a shop unless your planning to bring in a few 100 of each species.
