Who knows why Ts do some of the things they do. My G. rosea was also a keen climber. As for the N. chromatus can you put it inside your jacket if you're walking? 10 minutes should be fine though.

My dry species will climb when it gets humid here, all of them;) Just keep your substrate high enough so a fall won't harm it. :) I use the 6 inch rule for adults. With juvies and slings just use your judgement. I've violated my rule occasionally but never had one injured from a fall.
