when i brought my snake i got the starter set with came with a sliding mesh roof which you had to make a circular hole in to fit a heat bulb. i was also recomended to buy the type of bulb that gives off heat and light. my only concern is it doesnt have a gaurd and fitting a gaurd may be awkward due to the sliding roof. my snake hasnt had any accidents with the bulb as yet but if the situation is to dangerous i will have to make a change. any suggestions??
I would definitely fit a guard. When I bought the viv setup there wasn't one and Princess seemed to ignore the bulb. However a few days after the guard was fitted I came home to find her curled round it. I don't know if she'd have done that with a bare bulb, but I'm glad it's covered now.
i have 1 heat mat at the cooler end already but if its safer to remove the bulb and add a second im willing to do it. i think the bulb is glass but im not 100%.
