Broken UVB tube! ADVICE NEEDED!

[Fluffy]

A ReptiSun UVB tube i had spare fell behind the sofa, i brushed up the glass immediately but now i'm a bit concerned with the toxic gas.

As well as the dragon i have a 6day old baby girl and 3 year old boy i have read a story of a baby died playing around a broken fluorescent tube.

Should i do anything else to protect my family or should we be OK?

you've cleaned up the broken glass, and all should be fine.  If you have wooden floors, I would suggest a quick wipe up with a damp towel and along the wall where the bulb fell just to ensure all is caught.

I would thing the only thing you would have to worry about would be the ingesting of the mercury... or having it absorbed into the blood stream.
