Thistle - Hypo Shatter

[hypnoctopus]

So I was totally not planning on getting another snake right now, but when I saw this little guy pop up on Morph Market for a really reasonable price, I had to jump on it. This is a morph I have never actually seen before and I have fantasized about creating one for years already.

This is Thistle, the sunkissed hypo cinder:

I'm really looking forward to seeing how he develops!

Finally got around to taking some proper photos of Thistle today. He was pretty good!

Tried to get a clear picture of his head pattern - it's my favorite!

And lastly, a picture of him sitting in his little measuring cup that I use to cover him to get him to sit still for photos.

Thistle is lovely! I love sunkissed morphs

Thanks! And same - I think sunkissed improves a lot of the morphs.

Wow nice snake

 

[MysticExotics]

Stunning!
I like the name too.

Thank you guys. My husband is NOT a fan of the name because he has a hard time saying it! Haha.

I think it's a stunning snake with a very cute name!!

Thistle needed some updated photos. He was sold as a hypo shatter, but he looks more like a dilute shatter to me? In either case, I really love his patterning and color.

And just one more that shows his color a little better.

So pretty!! Congratulations, the head pattern is spectacular!

I just adore this little guy. I think he is so pretty and unique. He tends to be a very shy snake, although he's a joy to handle. I pretty much never see him in his enclosure. The only way I even know he moves around is from the varying poop locations.

This guy looks so monochrome in blue.

Never been interested in gray snakes, but you’ve changed my mind. He’s beautiful.

They're an acquired taste! When I first got into corns, I was all about the bright colors. But the unique patterns on shatters really drew me in.

Such a beautiful snake! I love that pattern on him, it's incredible

Thanks! For as crazy as his dorsal pattern is, his belly checkers are very standard.
