Not trying to sell anything here just would like to see where everyones mind set it. Also was curious is there any kind of documentation that follows ball pythons in their natural habitat they do it for meerkats why not bps
I think you definitely have a good point. I still think I'd wait, just to be safe rather than sorry, but many are ready to breed before others. Likewise, I've got an "07" (was sold to me as an 07) girl that is 3ft long and probably around 500g. Great feeding response, is in perfect health, she's just really small. Genetics also play a major part in safe breeding age.
