The only place I have found that sells bulb guards is Big Apple Herp. Many of us make their own: Go to hardware store and buy some hardware cloth. This is actually metal wire that come in 1/8, 1/4, and 1/2 inch weave. I use the 1/4 inch. Cut a piece 18 inches square and then cut out a 6 inch square from each corner. You will be left with a shape that you then bend up each side. Wrap any short wire sticking out and solder the corners of the box you have made so that there are no sharp points remaining. Attach a short piece of wood moulding to each side on the open end of the box, then screw to cage around the bulb.
