Nice. I filled out a cut sheet and put a deposit on half a steer from a local farmer yesterday.

To answer the OP's question, this all sounds like normal behavior for a young ball python. Since you're using a tank as housing when you pick her up, if you come in from over her head that is considered a threat so yes, she will nip. Try approaching her from the front as much as possible.
