Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Hello all,

I have found that there are knowledgeable keepers throughout the forums, so I have posted this in several forums to see the different tips I might get. So if you answered this in another forum, no need to answer here.

I am hoping someone might have some tips to help prevent contact with hot bulbs by snakes. I find it easier to control temperature inside the cage with the bulb being inside as well. However, I dont wish to have any incidents with it. I am hoping someone might happen to have a tried and true method on preventing the snake from having contact with internal heating bulbs.

Any ideas would be fantastic!

Thanks and best wishes,

Chris

Here's a link to Big Apple Herp's Bulb Safety Cage. Seems like it will work great for covering the bulb as well as the mounting fixture, which can be mounted to the inside top of a cage. You can use a solid cage top which will retain heat and humidity much better than anything with openings.

A couple small vents on the cage sides or back and you're in business.
