Default Bamboo

I'm currently looking for some bamboo pieces. I've gotten a few from a friend but I'm in need of some more and at some larger sizes. Where do you get yours at, or know of anyplace that sells it?

Opps, just piece for use in a cage. Needing them for my day gecko setup. I've used all I have and need more and some longer pieces.

I used to get mine from a stand of bamboo that I lived near, lots of choice in size there! I used a pipe cutter to cut it down (way easier). Fresh bamboo is sooooo gorgeous if you shave the green outside off. The wood is a beautiful green color with yellow stripes sometimes, but it does fade to yellow over time. So, if you can find a stand that you can harvest from, that is the best, IMO, or if you know someone that grows some in their yard, maybe they'll let you cut a bit.

That sucks... have you tried home depot/lowes? sometimes they carry in, maybe in the garden section for plant stakes, maybe in the home decor section. It is becoming a widely used wood in america for lots of things, and they may have it somewhere in the store you wouldn't think about.
