We do not have info that he was a SPARTOS (indigenous-autochthon) so the Beotian snake is not beyond doubt but not unlikely either.
So white cresent on black background and "encased" in red Beotian shield outline to play safe.

Feeling adventurous: Black dog's head with red eyes (Hecate´s hound) on bronze.
Melena Afroditi and Hecate were patron deities of Thespiae.
Kind regards
