Patternless/Vanishing Stripe

Got this little guy from BHB ~2 weeks ago. Listed as a "Pattternless Stripe." I've been wanting a corn for years and was planning on either a Creamsicle or Okeetee, but as soon as I saw him I was smitten. I can't find a lot of examples of vanishing stripes, both adults and hatchlings, so I'm pretty excited to document how his pattern and coloring changes.

First pic is the day he arrived, second is him after his first feeding. I'm cleaning his enclosure today so I'll see if I can get some better photos.

Cool! Stripe, in the normal morph, is usually a really bold stripe. Vanishing is so cool!!
 
First time properly handling Little Maker, it's been over 2 weeks. A little panicked at first but no strikes, no freak-outs, he behaved very well. His scales are so shiny as to be iridescent, especially on the head and belly. Hopefully I'll be getting a decent camera soon; this ancient cellphone doesn't do him justice.

He had his first shed today, and he was out exploring for a bit while I got his food ready--8 days since his last meal, when I noticed he was in blue, so he was very ready to eat!

He's definitely a vanishing stripe, and has a small reddish dot right behind his head, which I assume is the vestige of a saddle that will fade one day, but I wonder if he might also have some diffused in him. Only time will tell!

This photo shows the little red spot; also it's a bit truer to his in-person coloration. He also has angry-eyebrows which I find very cute!

He's a pretty little thing! I have to say, I cracked up when I read his name was Little Maker. Don't go making any water of life with him!
 
So cute!! Expect him to keep coloring up and eventually becoming (visually) patternless. His belly or lower half may become a bit speckly. Thanks for posting the pictures so far. LOVE watching them progress!
