How to DIY A Bulb Guard for Pet Reptiles!

[@edgoswick1271]

Thank you! I'm gonna make one of these for a light bulb in my crawl space.

[@samarabevin]

Thank you!! There is no heat guard big enough to work for me. I swear they only make heat guards for small 25W bulbs or something 😅

[@503menagerie3]

This was incredibly helpful-the Arcadia cages are out of stock almost everywhere and I was looking for a good (and cheaper) alternative. Thank you!

[@RedsFaunaverse]

Oh I’m so glad this helped you out! Thank you for watching :)

[@evyzapata5708]

Awesome !! Thank YOU !!!

[@12babrac]

Outstanding job! Informative with each step. Thank you !

[@RedsFaunaverse]

Thank you! You’re very welcome ☺️

I was looking up how to make a wire-mesh-cage to protect my lily and tulip bulbs from rats. Thou the use is different, the guide still fits perfect. Thank you :D

[@RedsFaunaverse]

I never thought about that! I’m glad it was helpful!

[@robertculen2949]

Thank you for this guide, as there does not seem to be commercially available bulb guards for larger mercury vapor and halogen bulbs. 💡

[@RedsFaunaverse]

Yay! Hopefully this has helped :)

[@julie7870]

Does the light heat the metal and make the cage hot?

[@RedsFaunaverse]

It does a little but it wouldn’t hurt the animal as much as the bulb would

Will you do a “all my pets” video?

[@RedsFaunaverse]

I 100% plan to and want to! I’ve been working on some of my pets enclosures over the past few months and I’m waiting till they’re all perfect for me to film~ I also wanna do a reptile room tour too 😈 so hopefully in the spring or summer maybe? Fingers crossed 🤞 ❤️

[@diamondfire4145]

do you still pan on making the how to install the lights video?

[@RedsFaunaverse]

Yup! Still editing it, hoping to have it out for maybe Febuary? Hopefully ✌️

[@zareptiles]

“her heads too god damn big” 😂

[@RedsFaunaverse]

It is 😂😂😂

[@jamiegillson9346]

where did you get your vivariums from?>?

[@RedsFaunaverse]

All over the place, a lot are second hand ones I’ve found at reptile stores, Kijiji, friends, expos, and so on. I rarely buy new tanks and if I do I just buy them through where I work at All Reptiles.

[@miguelsoto9579]

It’s that for gate that u use

[@ontarioreptilerescue]

This is completely off topic but I'm pale like you and a lipstick fiend, and that colour is gorgeous. Happen to remember the product?

[@RedsFaunaverse]

No worries! I’m a huge red lipstick fan, this is my absolute favourite “rock with you” by NARS 😉

[@ontarioreptilerescue]

I love you, thank you!

[@bennybearbyteshanlin252]

how do u change the lights when one dies?

[@RedsFaunaverse]

I just unscrew it and change the light 💡

[@miguelsoto9579]

What kind I’d wire u use

[@RedsFaunaverse]

On the Home Depot website it’s labeled as “Fencer Wire”

[@lynnesouthall6458]

Isn't it going to be a pain if the bulb goes...commercial made open at the bottom...wouldn't you have to unscrew the whole thing to change the bulb...

[@RedsFaunaverse]

You most definitely would have to unscrew it, it’s not that difficult to do tho and remember this is a cheap alternative to those who don’t wanna buy a fancy bulb guard. So you get what you pay for basically. Cheap alternative equals slight inconvenience.
