Yeah, it took a little effort to get him onto the scale to see how much he weighed. 14 grams, I think that's pretty good.

Oh my.. I went to go see Honey in his cage, couldn't find him, flipped out because I've lost an animal before and this guy was $300, but found him on his branch. Guy has good camouflage.

Also, a minute ago he was trying to climb up the computer screen, but failing. I had to help him up.

Ha! I had that happen once with toad. Turned out she has just decided to burrow in an odd location of the tank.She wasn't $300, but I was really worried she would damage her skin, and not to mention the tank was up off the ground, so it would have been a bit of a fall for her.

I'm curious, what's his grip like? I have not owned many arboreal species.

I've done that with Quetzal (my bp) many a time only to discover him on one of his branches poking the screen or hiding beneath one of his branches in a weird blind spot in his tank. Heart attacks galore.

I just wasn't prepared for his camouflage. I find him much quicker now.

Grip-wise, he uses his claws and it does hurt a little. I've got got quite a few red dots from them on my hands and arms.

And as I'm typing this, he's on the computer, I think he thinks the words I'm typing are food, or something...

I'm sure he'd go after it. XD Honey's only food at the moment is Repashy Crested Gecko Diet, but once these bananas ripen up and we go to the city he'll be getting some mashed banana and crickets as treats.

edit;;
More about Honey's grip, he appears to not be able to stay on glass like, say, a Crested gecko, and instead holds on with his claws. He's got a really good grip with 'em, though, it takes a bit of effort to pry him off a branch or even my finger.
