Josh,
I can't speak on U. fimbriatus specifically, but I use weak UVB (vitalites)
and fairly heavy calcium D3 supplementation with Miner-All I for other
members of the genus. Females also get oral supplements (Miner-All and
extra calcium mixed with water) once every week or two while they're laying.
If you don't use D3, think about using strong UVB lighting.
