I have had all sort of things happen and yes, breaking bulbs is one of them. Its fairly rare, with the exception of one male (bunghole)male whitethroat. He routinely tail whipped and broke his bulbs(two in his cage). But I have never had a monitor burn itself from touching a bulb or from the broken parts or glass.

The biggist problem I have had with close bulbs and midsized monitors is, some, somehow figure out how to unscrew them and they do so over and over and over. Got me. Maybe there telling me they do not want lites on 24/7. But then if they know how to turn them off, then I have no worries.

The next question would be, do they ever get shocked from broken bulbs or empty lite sockets? The answer is never, they must be smarter then me.

Again the point is, it has not been a problem what so ever. I do understand all the couldas and possibilities. So I ask, why do you leave your house? do you know of at the couldas and other bad things that could happen.

I am sure you will say, but sir, I got to live my life and living my life exposes me to danger. I say, thats the same with the monitors, let them live some sort of life. Cheers
