As far as naming the female hogg Persephone I have actual been think about that because of the reasons that you have laid out, yet they are brother and sister so I don't really intend on breeding them... do you know the pronunciation Persephone? is it something like Pair-se-phone or is something more interesting? Thanks

:For the female Hogg I'd favor Persephone, if they're a pair. She was the queen of the underworld, and Hades stole her from her mother, Demeter. Male/female redtails, I'm not sure. I love mythology (if you can't tell), and all (3) snakes I've named have been from Greek/Roman mythology. Perhaps Odin and Freya? (Norse) Orpheus and Eurydice are Greek. Eurydice stepped on a venomous snake and died, and Orpheus went to the underworld and nearly got her back again. Charybdis and Scylla are two "monsters", C is a whirlpool and S is a many-headed monster.

:Hope that's a start!
