    With the heat & humidity in TX, none of these options are going to be comfortable though.

    I was just thinking that what you really need is something to keep fangs/teeth at a distance, while allowing air-flow. Reminds me of the "fang guards" that I made & installed on my old Neodesha cages, over the vents to keep stray fingers safe when I did programs w/ rattlebrats. I fashioned fang-guards out of welded wire mesh (aka "hardware cloth")- the same stuff I make all my glass tank tops out of- including one for the large square tank that sat on the floor as a "coffee table" with a mojave green occupying it- that one I made with a double mesh top, with spacers between the layers of wire mesh so that fangs couldn't penetrate past both layers. (That way, I could prop my feet on top without worrying...lol- I'm a little twisted, I know.)

    The worst thing about most welded wire is that it's very abrasive, but if you could find (or special order) some that's smooth, you could shape* a double-layer (with safety spacers) "vest" to wear over your regular clothes- full ventilation so it wouldn't be so hot & awful to wear. (*maybe shape it over a dress-form?) I think of the weirdest things... Essentially "armor" but full of holes.
