I went to Lowe's and Home Depot today, neither had anything suitable, only flimsy plastic guards with 3 inch holes. Anybody know where to find good guards online?

That could be a tough find. They are really made to block something big hitting them, not a head of a snake.

Just thinking out loud, amybe something else used instead. I always see wire baskets at the dollar store. Fine mess, fairly strong. Work on a way to attach it over the bulb?

Or a similar item. My wife hates when I shop, I see somehing cheap and like that basket, and will spend 30 minutes trying to figure what I can use it for.

If I think of something better, I'll post it.

im pretty sure you can order them offline somewhere not sure where though. but on the other hand if you are using a dome light i belive petco sells wire guards in two sizes.

Hardware cloth is probably my least favorite thing to work with. If I can't find anything I may order the wire one Big apple, how big are those holes?

How about plastic-coated hardware cloth? Easier to work with; easier on animal snouts.
