I don't know about many of you but when I'm looking into purchasing something I like to see it.
I myself have some preferences in my normals that I look for. What irritates me is when you see ads going "Don't ask me to take pictures of them. They are normal."
While I understand that it's not always easy to take the time for pictures and then taking the time to load them and send them (we have 'picture collectors' in the horse world too sadly) I can be completely turned off of a seller because of things like this.
Last I checked all normals did not look exactly the same, some are bright some are not some are banded some are not...
I just can't talk myself into sending money for creatures I haven't seen even a picture of.

It's just a quirk of mine I guess. Because I can understand where they are coming from but it still rubs me the wrong way.
