assuming your vivs 3ft or under danny 100w is fine. Pulse stat is perfect for ceramic bulb but remember if you ever choose to use a Ir bulb you will have to change you stat as you'll have a light pulsing away.
You can use dimmer's on ceramic bulbs so gives you more choice. I bought a standard gaurd and bulb holder from my reptile shop. I know that you definitely need to use a ceramic bulb holder and cabling.
The gaurd depends on the size of the bulb. my gaurd measures 245mm x 125mm x 125mm. seen post on rfuk with custom m,ade ones for about £10 and you'd spend that in time and effort. just make sure the cabling and bulb holder are correct for the bulb you use.

the only problem that arrised is the wire is quite thin, so if a fully grown royal rapped itself around it and squized, it would easily bend lol
