some of you will have read my last post on here about heating. i desided on 75w infred, im getting this one (ill buy the next size up aswell for when i need it) - http://www.surreypetsupplies.co.uk/exo-terra-heat-glo-75w.html
then i looked into getting the right bulb holder and guard, then i found this - http://www.netpetshop.co.uk/p-21203-exo-terra-wire-light-clamp-pet-reptile-40-150w-small.aspx
is this just the holder and gaurd, or just holder?
if you could put websites of both sutible gaurds and holders i would be very happy? 
thanks in advance  |

I don't know if anyone else agrees with me but I find anything Exo Terra cheaply made, flimsy and needs repairing every 5 seconds yet quite expensive. They should stick to making hides because that's only only thing of theirs I would consider buying in the future.
I showed you the equipment I like to use in your other post, I have never had a single problem with any of it, I like stuff that's built to last even if it means paying a few quid extra. |

Just found a better picture of that guard, and its fully open at the bottom
yeah not that gaurd,its fully open as its for a totally different use.
