How to know if its a Proven Breeder?

When someone says a snake is a proven breeder, do they know its a proven breeder because they've already bred it?

If they are telling the truth, yes.

You have to find a trustworthy breeder, but yes, proven breeder means they have bred it.

most will show pics for proof.

If you want you can always ask for pics of the snake breeding if it's a male and with females most take pics of them on eggs. But mostly you take the word of the breeder. Be sure to deal with someone you feel good about.

Yep, a proven breeder is one that has successfully bred! You will want to find how many eggs she had if it's a female because she may only small clutches or breed once every couple years and that's why they are getting rid of it.

Proven breeder doesnt even really mean much, because I think that you want younger snakes that have not even bred yet to raise up to breed more than one that has, or is old enough to breed. I think because it can take a year or two for that " Proven breeder " female to breed after relocating her.

Thanks everyone. I'm not buying a snake thats a proven breeder, I'm just curious because I saw it a few times on kingsnake. Thanks again!
