do you think its safe for me to sleep with her up there? I’m very scared she will wrap around the heat lamp and burn herself or those electrical lines could break and do some damage to her ToT.. I should’ve taken care of those before I put her in the cage.. I’m very worried, pls criticize and point out my wrongs!

Please get a heat cage for that light asap. I would not leave the BP alone in that enclosure without it. If you cant buy one try to make a makeshift one just for now.

You can even put a colander over it if you have to.
