The concern of the lamp is justified, but my experience with gater snakes is that they donīt coil around it. The lamp is only 25 watt so it is not that hot.Pythons and boaīs tend to coil around such lamps during the night and when they still hang on it when the lamp starts buring in the moring, they get burned.
