What's the deal with breeders not wanting to post pics of their unshed hatchlings??
As the title says, why don't breeders want to post pics of their unshed hatchlings? This is my first season with eggs/hatchlings so I'm just unsure why you'll ALWAYS hear breeders saying they want to wait a shed or two before posting pics...
Any thoughts on this?

Hi,
It's possible it's because the colours change with the first few sheds.
That's my best guess anyway.

I would have to say my big reason is there is sometimes a big difference in color between pre and post shed on my hatchlings.
Mini monitors, other select herps, and aquatics.

+1, I'd assume it's because they change so much just after a shed or two. IMO, they always look better even after their first shed, therefore people are more prone to pick it out and buy it

Plus they are shiny, and don't show off the color well... I don't have a huge aversion to it when I'm just sharing the fact that the animal exists, but when I post them up for sale or something, I want them to be shed.

I post anyways, but I really should not.
The difference in the first shed is so unreal. Especially if the first time you show them is pre shed... someone might look and think nice snake, but not a great snake... so you could lose that sale.
And for me... I am SO bad at identifying them, it sometime takes a shed to be 100% sure that it is a morph, especially for sublter morphs.
