Default Light guards for small snakes?

Well, I have a light in my new viv now and though the bulb is too small and can't get up any heat that would hurt the snake or change the temperature, I thought it might be wise to get a guard anyway. However most of the guards I've seen are either faaar too big or so small they wont fit over the light.

Anyone got any good ideas on maybe making a DIY one?

Default Grr!

This is rubbish. I've been to all the stores I know and can't find a bulb guard that the snake wouldn't get through or any mesh that is small enough to work..

Currently using a 15W red pigmie bulb just for lighting.
