I have a 5 year old bearded dragon who is big and fat, but all he does now is just sleep in his bed, get out to bask, and eat his greens then he goes back to his bed. I'm not worried because he seems healthy, he still drinks and looks like a fat bearded dragon. I'm just wondering if this is normal sense he's getting older. Please help, thank you

Hello,
Can you run over your tank setup with us such as the type/brand of UVB, supplementation & temperatures so we can make sure it's all correct, first.
I am glad to hear he is eating some greens though. How long has he been this way?
It sounds like he has slown down some for brumation right now. At 5, that is perfectly normal. You can post some pictures so we can see what he looks like also.
If he isn't losing any weight, that is a good sign he's healthy.
