If I'm not mistaken, people eat bamboo shoots. The full grown stuff might be too woody for chameleons, but I don't think it's toxic.

You also have to take into consideration that the stuff they sell as "lucky bamboo" isnt actually true bamboo. My Aunt and uncle own a nursery in Florida so I know a little about plants if you want I can contact them to get the scientific name of the "lucky bamboo" and you can go from there to see if you can find info on it.

Lucky Bamboo is a type of dracaenea. Not a true bamboo at all!

bamboo is ok to use. i use it in seveval of my cages. i'm lucky enough to live close to a river bottom whee the stuff grows wildly. the only problem i have had was that it a little slick. i fixed that by lightly sandblasting it. if you dont have a sandblaster or access to one you can do the same thinkg with course sandpaper.

Anyone know if Philodendrums are poisonous to Chameleons?

I know they can be bad for some animals but I've never seen it on a reptile list.

Just curious.
