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.
