Anglehead disaster

[Magpie]

One of my angle headed dragons had a major disaster this weekend. He fell between the flouro tube and the casing and got stuck by his head, leaving him hanging there. I am unsure how long he was there for, but maybe up to 2 hours. After this, he appeared to be knocking at the pearly gates for about 24 hours, but has since shown a lot of improvement. Unfortunately, due to the heat or the 'hanging' he appears to have suffered some brain injury. I am hoping fervently that he will show full recovery, but basically it's wait and see as far as I can tell.
The moral of the story? Use light guards on flouros or at least block the gap if you have dragons.

Sorry to hear about that Mags, my best wishes for his making a full recovery mate. The little buggas can get in anywhere can't they?
