Well, they they should start getting more interested when it warms up and they of course notice the daylight getting longer if there are windows in the room, but if you put two males together they will want to challenge each other and battle for the breeding rights of the females. just make sure you watch them and that they are similarly sized or the smaller one can really get worked over by the larger male.

Also, a bit of "springtime" misting from a water bottle can sometimes help too. My Hondos are typically late April into May breeders anyway though were I am and with my setup.

Anyway, don't worry, it will get going when it warms up some more for a while. They will only breed when the female is ovulating and actually allows them to breed with her anyway, otherwise no matter how persistent a male is the female will pull away, buck, and tail-whip the males advances. The females will dictate if they breed or not.
