I'm making a guard out of staneless steel. My dad had some laying around in the garage. I've made ip 23 cms long. Hopefully it's long enough.

I don't have a guard on mine but do have a reflector, if the beardie cannot reach it then you wont need one, my beardie is in a 4x2x2 viv so it is fairly high.
