| if you are not using a lamp guard yes your snake could get burned. I would suggest getting a light gaurd and then there is no worries |

I have mine on 24/7 but I usually turn it down a notch, about 5 degrees c, at night time. Then I turn it back up when I wake up in the morning. Seems to keep him happy.
Of course, ceramic bulbs are wonderful for a 24/7 heat source too. |
