ProRep Heater Guard XL

The ProRep Heater Guard Ex-Large Easy Open is a robust mesh guard designed to prevent reptiles from making direct contact with heat sources inside their vivarium or terrarium. At 170x170x215mm, it accommodates a wide range of heating equipment and is built to stand up to persistent animals that like to test their boundaries.

Dimensions & Compatibility

Measuring 170x170x215mm (17x17x21.5cm), this extra-large guard provides enough clearance for bulkier heat sources including ceramic heaters, heat projectors, and standard heat bulbs. The generous internal space means airflow around the heat source is not restricted, allowing the equipment to function as intended.

Easy-Open Design

The guard features an easy-open panel that makes routine maintenance straightforward — bulb changes, cleaning, and thermostat probe adjustments can all be carried out without removing the entire guard from the enclosure. This reduces disturbance to the animal and saves time during husbandry sessions.

Construction & Safety

Built to resist pressure and repeated handling, the guard acts as a reliable barrier between your reptile and any hot surface within the enclosure. This is particularly important for species that thermoregulate actively and may spend extended periods close to the heat source.

A straightforward but essential piece of vivarium equipment — the ProRep Heater Guard Ex-Large gives keepers confidence that their heating setup is properly secured without complicating day-to-day care.
