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

easy - use a heater guard !

I use ceramic bulb style heaters in many of my vivs - I use metal cages to surround the bulb - stops the creatures having direct contact with the heater ... has worked really well for the last few years for snakes and lizards
