I like the following and think they are trustworthy (I'm sure I'm missing some good ones as well):
Royal Constrictor Designs (the guy's name is Garrick DeMeyer....HUGE inventory, good reputation)......I would start here
BHB Reptiles (Brian Barczyk, BIG name in the reptile industry, good breeder, I can't think of a guy that sells more snakes...also runs a popular Youtube channel)
Bob Clark (longtime breeder in the industry, known for quality Reticulated pythons but he produces a lot of good BP's as well)....occasionally has KILLER deals on auctions on his Facebook page.
MorphMarket or Kingsnake.com are a collection of breeders (most are good, some are not). Think of it as a Craigslist for reptiles.....I would encourage you to go with what you were told and avoid large pet store type shops and herp farms.
Don't overlook the classifieds section on this site however. There are a lot of GREAT breeders here as well....
