With so many awesome snakes out there and room being limited, there's always an element of uncertainty. I've been waffling for a while over Blood Python vs. Sumatran Python vs. a couple of different Blood morphs and am still not sure. It was a lot easier back when I kept Corns. They were cheap and small so you could just buy 4 or 5 different ones rather than have to make hard choices

The only thing I'm really sure of is that you'll never regret waiting for (and paying for) a really nice snake. If a hypo looks better to you than a "pure" hog and you're not planning on breeding hogs and you're also not into the whole purebred locality thing then it seems unlikely that you would regret it later. But, there's nothing wrong with taking your time until you're sure either.

btw, where in Georgia are you? I'm in Marietta (NW of Atlanta).
