I have 5 strauchii from Jen. There's 2 males and 3 females and they will be 2 years old next spring. I understand that at 2 yrs old they may breed, or they may not. However, the males' breeding colors are coming out now, so I think there's a chance they will.
Here is my plan for getting them in the mood. Please let me know if this sounds okay:
- they are currently in a 36 ga at 52-58 F
- in the next week or so, I want to set them up in my cold storage room in a 20 ga long. The temp there will be about 38-45
- in about 6-8 weeks they'll go back into the normal tank where it will be about 55-60 F
Does this sound like the kind of temperature change that will get them ready? Should I separate males and females for an extra effect?
They've been snacking on earthworms, blackworms and a few white worms
I attached some pics. These things are notoriously hard to photograph, because one or the other end is always disappearing under the furniture. They are quite personable though, and come out to grab earthworms when Mama's tweezers appear in the sky.
