The VIHOSE Reptile Heat Lamp Guard is designed to help you create a secure heat area without sacrificing heat transfer or enclosure safety. Made to endure daily use, this guard provides a protective barrier that reduces direct contact with hot bulbs while preserving heat flow to your habitat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guard’s metal construction offers durability and reliability, resisting bending or damage over time. Its mesh design maintains heat dissipation, so your enclosure can benefit from consistent warmth without trapping heat in a single spot. The design is intended to work with a variety of bulbs, including heating bulbs, ceramic heat emitters, fluorescent lamps, day and night lights, UVA\/UVB bulbs, and spotlights, giving you flexibility in how you warm and light your setup. Note that bulbs are not included, so you can pair your preferred wattage and bulb type with confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat’s Included and How It Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOne reptile heater guard with screws, plus a US standard plug and bulb socket; bulb not included.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBottom opening features a buckle for easy opening and closing, simplifying bulb installation and replacement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDimensions: about 8 inches tall (20 cm) and 3.94 inches in bottom diameter (10 cm), compatible with a range of bulbs and enclosure sizes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the guard is designed to let heat dissipate rather than block it, you can position it to create an inviting basking zone while keeping direct contact with the heat source away from your pet. This balance helps you maintain a safe, warm microclimate without additional modifications to your existing setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVersatility for Many Species and Setups\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis shield is suitable for a broad spectrum of reptiles and amphibians, including chameleons, lizards, snakes, geckos, tortoises, and even small chicks.
