Benedict - Burmese Python
Benedict the Burmese Python has quite the personality and an even bigger adult size. As the largest snake you can have in Iowa, Benny will be the longest animal at the sanctuary one day!

Benedict joined the Sanctuary in June of 2024 and has slowly but surely been warming up to people and growing larger and larger! While we don’t have him interact with the public, he is still one of our favorite snakes to show due to these snakes' history.
Benedict is named due to his morph, an albino granite, and the way it makes him look like an egg! He is a big yellow tube of sass but we don't love him any less because of it! While he isn’t quite full size, he has a huge potential to grow in the coming years!
If you love a big ol’ danger noodle full of sass (or eggs!), Benedict is one of the best ambassadors for you! While he may not be as hands on as some others, he makes up for it in his sheer size!
