Beardie Being Lazy

I’m not sure if i’m being paranoid. My beardie has all the proper lighting and temperatures in his tank. He’s been acting a bit more lazy than usual. he still eats perfectly okay. he perks up when i get home. eats his food fine and gets up to eat. he’s about to be 3 soon and has never gone into brumation. idk if it’s too early that he’s going into it or if he’s going into it at all. i just need some advice if i’m being a paranoid mom or if he actually might be sick. he acts fine and doesn’t black beard at all. he still gets super orange.

Proper lighting is UVB a coil or long tube fixture? Brand and bulb? Where is it in the tank? And how old is the UVB? Surface basking temps are being take w/ a digital probe thermometer? Once this is all gone over will tell us if it is the start of brumation -- How old is the dragon?

Sounds good please get a piece of decor directly under the uvb 8-10 inches w/ temps being good and uvb I am gonna say she's slowing down - get a weight on her now keep her hydrated and keep a watch on her weight -
