I know very little about dragons however, bamboo is one of the most common plants in there natural environment. I would assume it would be fine but I suggest you wait until an experienced dragon keeper happens along.

Bamboo is safe.

Here is a list of non-toxic plants you can put in as well: Non-toxic Plants - VeterinaryPartner.com - a VIN company!

Dragons generally will not eat the live plants, but better safe than sorry and get non-toxic plants.

Here are several different links. I believe Bamboo is on the safe list.

Re: live plant ideas please

Are you talking about true bamboo or what is sold as "Lucky Bamboo"? Lucky Bamboo is the stuff that is basicaly stems usually several tied together and sitting in a container of water. They are not actually bamboo but a species of draceana.

Re: live plant ideas please

been quite a while since I made a post but if you are looking for live plants for a WD enclosure I would have to say POTHOS is my fav. Can grow in dirt or even ful submerged. CANT KILL THEM
