ProRep UV Tube Guard /20"

The ProRep UV Tube Guard is designed to protect both your reptile and your UV lighting from each other. Fitted inside the vivarium, it physically separates animals from fragile fluorescent tubes while ensuring UVB output is not significantly compromised — a practical necessity in any setup where basking behaviour brings reptiles close to the canopy.

Mesh Design and UVB Transmission

The guard uses a wide-gauge mesh with a reflective finish, keeping UVB loss through the mesh to a minimum. The lightweight construction avoids adding unnecessary bulk to the interior of the enclosure, and the strong build means it holds up to repeated contact from even larger, more active species.

Access Without Hassle

A hinged panel with double security fasteners runs the length of the guard, giving you direct access to the tube for bulb changes and routine maintenance without having to remove the entire fixture. This makes lamp replacement a straightforward job rather than a disruptive one.

Mounting and Installation

• Four mounting brackets included for secure roof-fixing inside wooden vivariums
• Three cable entry cut-outs accommodate both single and double-cable fluorescent units
• Designed for flush mounting against the vivarium ceiling for a neat, functional fit

Sizing Across the Range

The UV Tube Guard is available in four sizes to suit enclosures of different scales, from compact setups to larger vivarium builds. Each size shares the same 13.5cm width and 7cm height, with the length varying to match the corresponding tube length. Select the size that corresponds to your UV tube and vivarium width from the options above.

Whether you keep skinks, bearded dragons, tortoises, or any other UV-dependent species, fitting a tube guard is straightforward best practice — protecting your animal, your equipment, and your peace of mind in one install.
