Hi
Is bamboo ok to put in with Yemen's

Yes, plus it looks fantasitic, rough it up first with a bit of sandpaper so they can grip on it better. Also worth blocking any holes in it up so crickets etc can not hide in there and come out at night and nip the chameleon.

Cheers Rick but sorry I should have said bamboo plant as it is a small living plant I bought so wanted to make sure it was safe to eat as the yemens from you eat anything and everything.

thanks for the link lol93
I cant find bamboo mentioned anywhere, at least its not noted as being poisonous and most plants where I got it from mentioned on the label if they were.
Yes Rick if its safe it will look great as it is in a dense tall clump. It would give plenty shelter for them also.

Ok I found mention in a book that bamboo is safe to use so I have put it and they love climbing through it.

I have bamboo plants (the lucky bamboo plants) in my set up for my female Yeman, I did google it in the past and the site said it's safe. (Sorry I don't remember which site now.) My Yeman has not munched any of the plant, but the locusts enjoy it very much, so after a few months or so, I have to replace a new one again. Rolling Eyes
