ProRep UV Tube Guard 960mm / 38" HCG210 for Reptile Vivariums

The PR UV Tube Guard HCG210 is a 960mm (38") mesh guard designed to protect both your reptiles and your UV lighting. It sits between your animal and the lamp, preventing direct contact with fragile fluorescent tubes while allowing UVB to pass through with minimal loss thanks to its wide-gauge mesh with a reflective finish. A straightforward, practical piece of kit that belongs in any vivarium running a UV tube.

Built to Protect Without Blocking UV

The wide-gauge mesh construction keeps the guard from acting as a significant barrier to UVB output. The reflective finish further helps maintain light levels inside the enclosure, so your animal continues to receive the UV exposure it requires rather than a compromised fraction of it.

Easy Lamp Access

A hinged panel with double security fasteners means you can reach the lamp for bulb changes and routine maintenance without having to remove or dismantle the entire fixture. This is a small detail that makes a genuine difference when you're working inside a wooden vivarium on a regular schedule.

Designed for Flush Vivarium Mounting

The guard includes four mounting brackets and three cable entry cut-outs, accommodating both single and double-cable fluorescent units. This allows the guard to sit flush against the roof of a wooden vivarium for a clean, secure installation.

A well-fitted UV guard removes one of the most common risks in reptile keeping — animals pressing directly against hot or fragile tubes — while keeping your lighting performing as it should. The HCG210 handles that job without fuss.
