Sales photos with stuck sheds

This is one of my biggest pet peeves. To me it shows "Hey I didn't keep my humidity right and I'm not concerned that I'm not presenting my snakes in the best manner." I don't care what the snake is, I keep scrolling when I see stuck shed. It wouldn't take long to give it a soak and let it rub it off on a washcloth. It implies laziness and lack of concern to me. Plus would they send the snake to the seller like that? I would not be happy to receive a snake with giant pieces of stuck shed. It's not presenting their business or the animals very well, and when their trying to sell, why wouldn't people do what they could to make sure they look their best?

Honestly, when I see a snake with a stuck shed in an add, I thank the person for showing me what not to buy, and move on.

I fully agree with the above statment. Whenever I see a snake with stuck shed it sets off a redlight. If their is shed on them, it generally means that the breeder and/or seller have some issues with husbandry and I move on down the line.

Many people just don´t care, same goes for people taking pictures of their snake in dirty enclosure, on a towel, on carpet etc.

Those people do not know how to present what they have for sale, and the sad part is that you do not need to be a professional photographer to do so or have expensive equipment.

Depends on the situation, but yes, i usually think its a sign of lack of care.

I saw an ad like that just the other day here. I thought, well whos gonna buy from you?

Reputation doesn't matter, though, remember? ;)
