hey, my beardie (mango/maragret, mango is a nickname but her main name) has been with me since last summer and has been lethargic yet happy the whole time. she's about 9 so maybe it's from old age? she eats and drinks very frequently (she loves her food and water bowl for using and laying in haha) but never really moves that much, i've been through the setup talking a few times here and her setup seems fine, it could just be old age but i'm very concerned. she's happy here and loves me, i just don't know why she's so lethargic

I'd say about 2-3 months old? I'm not sure when to replace it..
For a T 5 approx one year I recommend a month prior to T 8 6 months a month prior to where is the uvb top of screen or inside the tank the two bulbs have certain distance and placement sorry about the repetitive questions- it could be old age I am going to get some extra help on this
