    Tips to trigger a pair to spawn

    Hey guys, if anyone could give me any tips to get my pair of blue snakeskins to spawn, I,d be grateful.
    They are 12/13 months old
    temp = 32 degrees
    PH = 6 to 6.4
    tank = 4ft x 2 x 2, bare tank with 2 cones, bio filter
    I do 10% and 20% water changes twice a week
    I feed 2 cubes of beef heart twice a day
    tank light is on timer from 9am to 9pm

    Any help would be much appreciated, thanks

    Sunlight? they get a little sunlight through a glass door but only a little for a couple of hours in the morning, do you think that would be enough?

    try the usual tricks of the trade mate


    larger w/c using pre heated / treated water.

    feed them well cubes of beef heart? LFS stuff? ,, fatten them up mate, get a decent pellet, make your own beef heart mix, live brime.
