got hold of one of these today with the intention of mounting like this...

just wondering if this would be safe mounting it directly to the viv?!
it is a ceramic holder, it's a type that i've been using for years for bulbs of 100w or more...

will be used for heating snake viv' (heater is 100w) and temp' will be around 28C (82-84f) (running it through a dimmer stat)

any thoughts would be appreciated
thanks
Andy
