I know you don't want to hear this....but honestly, I wouldn't. Although, if you could get it set up correctly, you might be able to pull that off. The critical thing is to make sure that the snake can't touch the heating element AND to make sure that the "guard" doesn't get too hot, either. So...if you can have enough space around the bulb that it won't heat the "guard" too hot.....and, if you can be absolutely sure the snake can't get through the guard....it might work.
