I keep seeing these posts about UVB. I am going to have to believe that my Kimberlys need it. I have three pairs, in one of the cages I removed the UV bulb and replaced with a similar wattage heat lamp, I also have a double 24in fluorescent in the cage. About two months ago I noticed she was not coming out to eat for a couple of days I could only see her tail sticking out, I finally reached into her log to see if she was OK and she didn't squirm much like she usually did, then I noticed she was going into serious spasms and could hardly move, very similar to what my baby frillies or Beaded dragons do without UVB. What I did then was replace the bulbs and give her some neocalglutonate that was very difficult but I got her to take some. After a few days she started to look better and a little over a week later she laid eight eggs, six were tight and looked fertile and four now have veins at this point. She is back to her fine health too. I know the eggs were a calcium drain, also I only feed the dusted insects. KB
