It has to have a photo of some sort, other wise it wouldnt get a second look from me, why would you consider purchasing something you have no idea how healthy it is.
(not saying people on here would dupe eachother far from it) but with other private ads from non breeders.
If im buying a gecko I would want at least 2 photos.

I would not buy any animal that did not have a photo. Some people say they will provide photos on request, but that seems like it would be a big hassle wading through all the inquiries and sending photos. It just makes more sense to post the pics so people can decide if they are interested or not, and then inquire if they are.

I buy geckos as pets, so body shape and even how the face looks matter to me. Therefore, a photo is very necessary.

Absolutely! You never know what you're getting otherwise. It could be "ugly," unhealthy, or any number of things - for all you know, you purchase a tangerine gecko and it arives something else, or worse! A 3 legged, 1 eyed, frog or something lol You're just asking to be scammed.

I voted other, because while it may be a bit more problematic, if it were something I was really looking for I'd request a picture. If a picture could not be provided, I'd not go through with a purchase and move on.
