Is my dragon is just lazy or lethargic

[DRAG0]

My dragon is always in his cave...sitting there all day.
I always come and see he needs anything.
When he tried to move it's like dragging him self for a good 2 seconds then stop to take a break.
He never tried to hunt the crickets at all, whenever a cricket is 1in away from him he will eat it.

My dragon is about 11 months old
And I have no idea what's going on with my dragon
Plz help

Please go over your setup.
What temps are the basking spot and cool end?
What are you using to take temps with?
What uvb are you using?
How old is it?
How close can he get to it?
Any screen or lens between beardie and uvb?
How often do you dust bugs with calcium/vitamin?
What size is his enclosure?
How long has he been like this?
If you can provide pics that would be helpful.

Basking is 109 to 90
Cool end is 85 to 80
Using a zoo med thermometer and humidity gauge
Zoo med 100w basking lamp
He is about 11 months old
The closest he can got what I've seen is about 5 inches away from the lamp
There is lens between my dragon and uvb
Have been dusting the bugs w/ calcium once per week
5 gallon tank
It's been 3 months he been like this...

Get the lens off immediately! What type (coil or tube: T8 or T5) and brand is the uvb and how old is it? If a lens is covering the uvb he's getting NO uv at all. How long have you been using this uvb? If you are using one of those stick on thermometers they are not accurate enough. Get a digital thermometer with probe and place it directly at the basking spot and one for the cool end. Is that a typo that it's a 5 gallon tank? He should be getting calcium 5x week for now.

Basking is 109 to 90 <<<< 109F IS TOO HOT …. see viewtopic.php?f=5&t=233516
Max temperature for a bearded dragon is 40 degC .
Cool end is 85 to 80
Using a zoo med thermometer and humidity gauge <<<< DIAL ANALOG or DIGITAL ?
Zoo med 100w basking lamp
He is about 11 months old
The closest he can got what I've seen is about 5 inches away from the lamp
There is lens between my dragon and uvb <<<<< the lens is blocking 100% of the UVA and UVB …. and MUST BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY.

How old is the tube ?
what brand is it ?is it a T8 or a T5HO tube ?
is it a 10%UVB tube ?
how old is it ?
…. older than 6 months ? …. if it is unless it's an Arcadia tube , it needs to replaced NOW.

5 gallon tank <<<< L x W x H ?
It's been 3 months he been like this...
