Hognose vs mbk

I’m new to all this, and I have been wanting a snake for a long time. A hog was what I wanted for years now, but as I was searching I came across an mbk.

I’ve done fairly good research on both. That’s all I’ve done for the past two days.
I’d really like to get a hatchling to start out fresh. I’ve also never held a snake as big as a full grown mbk so I’m a little weary of getting an adult. I want to clarify I’m not scared of big snakes. I just have no experience yet with them. I’ve had people say get a hatchling, then tell me get a sub adult or adult. In the end I just want to do what’ll be best for the snake and myself.

I figured I’d make a post on here and see what some of you have to say. Opinions, experiences, advice, anything.

Thank you!
