What "proven" means

[HarleyK]

Can someone clarify what it means when people say that their tortoise is proven male or female? Does it mean they successfully mated before?

In my opinion a proven female has laid fertile eggs before, while a proven male has mated and caused the proven female to lay fertile eggs.

The short version

The tortoises do it and make babies

Couldn't have said that better myself
