Reptile Pet Heat Lamp Lampshade Holder, Ceramic Heating Bulb Guard with Anti-hot Bracket for Lizard Turtle Snake Birds Chick, With Mounting Screw(Round)

I love this item it's amazing for my snake viv he loves to bask under it

Excellent

Got this for my hedgehogs so it's great to protect them form the hot bulb

I have purchased 6 of these fixtures now and all have worked for well over a year for my enclosures ranging from 24-32°c.I’m not sure why, but I’ve ordered this exact fixture several times and the wire gap is noticeably different on quite a few. Some, are a perfect fit for the cable and are seamless and entry proof, others, have a 2-3mm gap, which, I’ve found out the extremely hard way, small colubrid snakes can absolutely fit into. This is an extreme, deadly hazard, one I wasn’t remotely aware of because all my other fixtures prior to this have no wire gap at all (and it’s a perfect fit for the heat fixture). Although I’ve used this fixture for 1-2 years now, please please ensure the gap (if it does come with a large one) is patched up with wire mesh, or silicone, or a glue from a hot glue gun. I couldn’t fit my pinky finger into the gap so presumably it was safe, but my snake could and unfortunately passed away because of this. I have never had this issue before.This is no hate to the seller, I appreciate it’s not a one size fits all, but as a precaution, make sure to cover the wire gap if there is one. I have no idea why it comes with one, considering they supply the wire and know exactly how big to make the gap.Buy with caution.

Young corn snake seems to enjoy it

I like this guard, only 2 screws to put in. They can be tricky to get into an installation upside down, hot guard! Good vslue as the ceramic lamp holder is included.The catch could be a bit more secure. I also found it shorter than my Arcadia guard which meant the bottom grille gets very hot with a 150w CHT above it, could burn my snake’s nose if she gets too close!

Brilliant bit of kit. Very easy to install, sturdy and does what it says on the tin. My BP hasn’t tried to climb on it yet, but I’ve no concern if she does. I tested with the heat lamp on for a while and there was no excessive heat

This is not safe I now had 2 snake killed as they managed to get them self in it thank you so much am so upset and so is my child as we had a hognose he was so lovely came back home and had cooked him self the hole is to big this item need to be taken down
