Her name is kadie and she is going to be 9. The photos are a couple years old, and she can't do stunts anymore. I thought I killed her by dropping a couch on her years past, but that seemed to make her only stronger and fiestier. Her brother, scooter, died maybe a year ago and he was fierce warrior. They free roamed the house at onetime and her brother would bite family members while they were sleeping. I woke many times with vampire like marks on my arms. Once I woke up with scooter attached to my big toe and he wouldn't let go.
Ferrets tend to be behind some animals as good pets.
And nothing beats man's best friend:

Man, I don't want a pet that's going to bite me in the middle of the night. I'll just stick with bamboo. The worst that can happen is it pops up in the middle of the neighbor's lawn.
As for reading bamboo books, it just confused me. I was fine before I looked at the ID stuff. Bamboo seems to defy description sometimes.

Does anyone have a good photo of a P. aureosulcata 'Alata' shoot? I've never seen one but it almost seems like they might look something like those mystery shoots. Do you know if the young culms have a sandpapery feel to them? Are there any auricles on the culm sheaths? (I couldn't see well enough on the photos.)

It dosen't fully match any textbook description but It dose look more like the bissetii growing here than the heteroclada.
Not much help really but here's a pic of mine, much smaller due to the UK climate, and taken later in the growing cycle.....

Bamboo...Please note... This plant is seriously addictive and you may lose interest in other, less rewarding plants!

Iowa, Bissetii doesn't have crook stems but I've learned that bamboo sometimes does unexpected things due to environmental conditions, so I'm conveniently ignoring that factual aspect of this particular plant he has

Hi David, the amount of movement is not enough to consider it in regards to Id , almost any bamboo can show this when enviromental conditions suit.
I'm going with Brad, namely bissettii---Another description that the Chinese compendium list is the sheath blade is triangular, which seems to fit your pic.
