Hi all,
In need of a bit of advise. Currently have a young pair of Blue Snakeskins. They have spawn about 4 times now. Each spawn is in the order of 100-150 eggs.
Problem I have is only a couple of eggs are fertile. On each batch I would get at max 5 fries. I believe the male is not doing his job properly. My delima is that I don't want to split the pair up and introduct another male coz' this pair are the best parents I've even seen. You can disturb them all you like and they would not eat the eggs or the fries.
Is there anyway I can get a greater hatch rate?
Regards
Jeffrey
