My ceramic and UV light are mounted inside a pelmet that sits on top of the tank. The tank's top is a fine, escape-proof mesh. It does heat up a little bit, but not too much because the ceramic doesn't sit directly on the mesh, it sits above it. Also, my snake can't get to the mesh directly below the ceramic.
