Does anyone have views on these for snakes and does anyone know where you can get the unit guard as pictured above? Click the link above and scroll down the page to the pics.

I have seen them on ebau for £80 but read on another site that the whole unit can get hot and that a full guard over it is advisable. Just can't find a supplier of the whole guard is in the link above

I've not heard that. I thought the whole idea was that you didnt need anything...never seen the guards either?...more research needed......

At one point i only used these they are brill. Had them for snakes and lizards. my snake used to lye on top of the heater. They do'nt get hot so you will not need another guard.

They are great
I have been using theem for about a year and they do not need a guard- they have an auto cut off that is connected to the cover - it kicks in at 70 degree's so reps don't burn themselves - the cover pictured is for a greenhouse heater I beleive - you can buy them from garden centre's

I have enough of these units to say safly that I would not need to buy an extra guard

Cheers

Chris
