"just trust the breeder" and paperwork that anyone can produce don't cut it for me. For my husband and I it's about doing the work ourselves to get to know breeders, to check on people's reputations over the years they've been around, to know people that have proved out this breeder's hets before, to know the breeder over the long term say through this website and by talking to them on the phone - that sort of stuff. Then when we do buy a het from a person like that, we have no real concern about the genetics because we have already built a relationship of trust and respect with that breeder.

There are quite a few people I might buy a snake from, there's a very short list of who we'd buy a het from.
