My beardie, Mango, has been in my care for about a year now! But she's still only moving a few footsteps a day. Is somethng wrong, or is just that she's 8?? I really want to keep her active and healthy but NOTHING works!

She is slowing down if shes 8 - lets go over the basking temps 95-100 and taken w/a digital probe thermometer --is the basking bulb a solid clear bright white bulb? her UVB is it a coil or a long tube fixture? Where in the tank is the UVB?
Diet ? what are you feeding ?

temps are fine, the bulb is solid clear but slightly yellowish, uvb is a long tube fixture on the back top. i am feeding a variety of safe greens and a variety of safe worms, sometimes cucumbers or fresh fruit

The yellowish bulb is not good - please get a bright white like a Exo Terra intense basking bulb-- or a Zoo med repti basking bulb-- please tell me the brand and bulb of the uvb - these bulbs have certain distance and placement and expiration times - surface basking temps are really important along w/ properly placed uvb- screens will block 30% of those rays

Please do not buy another bulb till you let me know what your using so I can recommend one that may be better than what your using --- please post a pic of the tank and then I can help you better and a pic of the screen as well - is the tank a 40 gallon tank ?
