To a degree it does.
I mean, if you know what a given animal should look like, say an albino, and the seller says the pictures doesn't do it justice because instead of white and yellow the snake looks grey and greenish, yeah I understand.
But someone trying to sell a subtle morph like a fire, or one I'm not familiar with, then tell me the snake is worth their price because of bad pictures? Then I think, so buy a better camera!
