I don't have a bulb yet, I was just wondering if heat lamps in wood enclosures are fire hazards. There is definitely ventilation, I built a screen top, and there is a (accidental) 1/4" gap around the top between the frame of the screen and the walls of the enclosure. (not big enough or low enough for my future Uromastyx to crawl out, unless he/she can grow thumbs and fashion a grappling hook out of snap peas and birdseed.
I haven't even installed the light yet, so I'll have to test it in a few different spots to make sure the temperature is high enough, and that it's not lost because of that gap.
