Severely nippy BP!

[walzon1]

Of the things I've researched and vary opinions, having a year old ball python seems normal in line between 250 grams and 500 grams. Obviously she's a little older so she could be putting on some more weight, but again, I got her from a petsmart where the feeding charts they gave me were inconsistent with what she was supposedly eating. She was like 170 grams when I got her back in Feb. On the thin side but no where near starving. Her spine was triangle shaped back then and now it's rounded out quite well since I've bulked her up.
I've gotten opinions throughout all sorts of subreddits and forums. I've even asked breeders in youtube comments. "Is she at an okay weight for her size?"
Most if not all of them have said "Yeah she's at a healthy weight, not overly obese or underweight."

This ain't about 'having humility' I've been more than willing to listen to people, and the other responses that I've gotten here I've taken into consideration and stride. I can perfectly disagree with how things should be done with some people too, like I have with you.
I'm more than willing to continue learning, but when you have so many varying opinions on how reptiles should be kept, especially in this community, being told you're wrong when you're doing exactly what other people are doing, (An example being 'Tub vs glass tank' garbage that people love to argue about. Another is a breeder I saw at a reptile show had one year old BPs that were still in small size, and they were fed live but still looked like a hatchling but were perfectly healthy looking.) is going to obviously make people upset, because then you come across as snooty when they're doing things that other breeders and keepers are doing. Each snake is different and just because your ball python is 900 grams at one year, doesn't mean mine has to be as well. Should she be heavier? Probably, and I plan on getting her bulkier because she's closing in on year two now since she's apparently 16 months, because again, I've had to estimate on her birth and how long the store had her for from feeding records until I got her. So in short, I'm planning on improvements with her feeding situation. Her enclosure is perfectly fine the way it is and in no way am I devolving into an 'echo chamber' when you have thousands of opinions of breeders and keepers contradicting one another, I'm taking in as much information as humanly possible.

Honestly I've been on and off this forum for awhile and while I disagree with attacking behavior of some members but they don't offer bad advice. Think of it as overly passionate for the care of animals. Simply what you were told was wrong. These members know what they are talking about. I've had a veterian tell me my 400g male should be fed pinkies. A lot of bad advice out there. Try not to take it personal and stick to this forum to learn. Your BP is severely under weight for it's age. My male is 400g and only 7 months BTW and I feel like he is under fed and should weigh more. Breeders are usually around 600g at 7-8 months so.....
