Doesn't seem worth the risk not to use them when they can be bought so cheaply. I also use bulb guards for any heat or even light bulbs I use with my exotics.

The guards will keep the animals from touching the bulbs, but animals can still get burns without actually touching the bulbs, which is something I didn't know before I started researching chameleons. Thanks for sharing your advice with us! Hi Gary, that’s a great point, and one that I didn’t think about since we don’t keep our bulbs in the cages witih our reptiles.

Always use guards on ceramic bulbs and on any bulbs used in snake vivariums. I agree with chameleons climbing and would certainly guard their spot bulbs too. I usually find basking bulbs with animals that don't climb are usually safe and can be left unguarded.
