Reptile Heating Lamp Guard – Wire Mesh Cage Anti-Scald Cover
Keep your lizards, turtles, geckos, and other reptiles safe while basking under their heat lamp. This sturdy wire mesh lamp guard fits securely over your existing heat bulb, creating a protective barrier that prevents curious pets from making direct contact with a hot bulb. Whether it's a bearded dragon darting around its enclosure or a younger reptile exploring its habitat, this cover gives you peace of mind every day.
Key Features
- Protective Wire Mesh Design: The dome-shaped wire cage surrounds the heat bulb on all sides, keeping your reptile safely away from direct contact with the heat source.
- Adjustable Lamp Holder Clamp: The integrated screw fitting adjusts from 4 cm (locked) to 5 cm (widened), making it compatible with a wide range of standard lamp holders for a secure, wobble-free fit.
- Compact & Versatile Size: Maximum diameter of 10 cm and height of 14 cm (approx. 3.94" × 5.51") — sized to accommodate bulbs up to 75W. Suitable for most reptile enclosures, breeding tanks, and vivaria.
- Durable Iron Construction: Built from high-quality iron with a paint-coated finish that resists oxidation and rust, even in the humid conditions common inside reptile habitats.
- Fast Heat Dissipation: Open-mesh structure allows heat to radiate efficiently so your pet's basking zone stays at the right temperature without hot spots building up around the cage.
- Easy to Install: No special tools needed. Simply attach the adjustable clamp to your lamp holder and tighten the screw — installation takes seconds.
