Hiya, I probably need to verify weather it is normal or not that my Damon medius never moves out of his spot. When I occasionally take him out once ever two weeks to check on him he barely responds. I try to keep it as humid as I can in his enclosure without being more than 90% although I don’t have a hygrometer. Warmth in my apartment is between 23 degrees C - 25 degrees C. Also he hasn’t taken any pray in the two months I’ve had him, but I just tried throwing in a dubia and check in the morning.
I should probably mention that I have cleaning crew so the mold is gone.

Edit: he doesn’t respond to light prodding either

Fat, and sounds like you are caring for him properly. Don't stress him, as he may molt soon.

These tend to not move much, maybe he will come out to the other side of the cork at night.

This animal looks great! Leave it be. I find that hungry a Damon tends to move a lot in search for food. This one sounds like it's not the case. As said above, might be prepping for a molt.
