It's the first one of three. 4'x2'x18". This one will be for my blood. Just gotta get the light guard iron on the edging and vents. I'm just gonna solder some holes in the plexi for vents though. Not as pretty as others but it worked for my tegu's cage and it's ez.
I would love to see the bulb guard. I found some through a dealer in europe. But would love to see what you come up with.
I just put this on. I've never seen my blood stretct to the top of her tank so hopefully she doesn't bother the light. I was thinking about the metal wire bulb cover by bigappleherp but was worried it'll get just as hot as the bulb. If I see her getting too close to the bulb I might wrap some kind of screen around the plastic.
Where did you get the light fixture and the bulb guard? I've found at least 20 sites from the UK and Australia that have bulb covers, but I can't find any in the US. And do you have a link to the wire mesh cover on bigapple? I can't find it on their site.

I can't find the link either. I got the light fixture & guard from home depot. Here's the bulb guard I made outta screen.
Do you have any pics of the cage with the blood in it? I'm building a cage pretty much identical to yours for when my blood gets a little bigger. I still can't find any bulb covers in the US, might have to make one like you did.

Looks good.
>> I'm just gonna solder some holes in the plexi for vents though.
Instead of doing this, why not just drill the holes? It'll probably look better and you won't have any burnt edges.
