Will prevent accidental electrocution if the snake stretches from end to end on the tube (the exposed metal bits on each side) and will contain glass during an accidental breakage. And they only run about $4.

Haven't heard of electrocution/breakage concerns before, only burn concerns. Trouble is covering the bulb would mean no UVB would get through. I know snakes don't need UVB, but I have read there is evidence they benefit from it, plus the bulb is a lot less hot thanks to how the UVB is fairly low in heat output. Plus in it's current position relative to the branches, Ryu would have a hard time stretching from one end to the other even if the bulb somehow did break.
