Im putting a new viv together for my boa. Just wondering if anyone could recommend a good heat guard for a ceramic bulb. Never been keen on the type i use with Royal. A hinged one would be nice. Currently if I want to change a bulb I have to take the roof off viv then unscrew the heat guard before I can get at the bulb.

Thanks, Jonny

That prorep one looks spot on. If its hinged I wont need to take roof off viv to get to the bulb. Also I notice it has an opening for the cable. Mine didnt and was nipping the cable quite badly so I had to make an opening.

Cheers

I use pro rep, strong as balls, I stood on one on a dark night and suffered hideous bruising. It didn't even bend. I'd go for pro rep.

Livefoodbypost.co.uk were cheapest when I was shopping for them.
