Help! Burn or Parasites?

[zina10]

Wow you found a pic! What a terrible design. Why would they ever make it so it had a ledge like that... Even the sheetmetal they used looks like it has sharp edges and corners... PRO PRODUCTS & REPTILE BASICS are specifically smooth and designed without any ledge or way for a snake to crawl up into them.. Thats crazy, my balls would be all cut up, all mine do is climb.

I know, right !!!

Do you have any ideas what to put around the screw to fill in the gap ? I was thinking "pool noodle" design, slicing it open and putting it around the screw.
Only of course it needs to be smaller in diameter. Is there something like that "bendable foam noodly design" that is not as big around ? Perhaps something that insulates cables or small pipes?

These exposed screws are crazy. Esp. when a snake squeezes itself in between the screw and the housing.
