Re: Interested in a hog as a possible first snake....
If you like the bit of attitude and bluffing that hoggies are known for, you might also be interested in some Pituophis species(gophers, pines, bulls). They come in a variety of colours, shapes, and sizes and can have very complex personalities. Care-wise, they are very easy beginner snakes. Just like hogs, though, every individual is different so it would be good to see them in person to find one you like.
Otherwise, out of your choices I'd go with a hog nose. Spotted pythons are great too, though. I'm not much into BPs as, even though they're adorable. Too sedentary and fussy for my liking.
