lost a tooth!! worried

[magicmed]

I just fed my new Lil guy for the first time, on a side note he had a nice shed today for his first shed with me, all one piece. so I figured I would give him a f/t mouse, he strucks, and hit his eco carpet. He was stuck for about 45 seconds, took a jerk back to get himself off and I saw a Toother and possible half tooth still in the carpet. I'm very frustrated as I chose eco carpet to avoid feeding incidents after he freed himself he downed the mouse, and looks like he wants another one. So is this something that can happen and not be a big concern? Or should I hit up the vet? I don't see any blood anywhere at least, just worried about the little guy

I don't think you really need a vet visit, but get rid of the carpet. I've had that same problem in the past with leopard geckos getting their teeth stuck when missing a cricket. As far as substrates go I've tired just about everything and always end up going back to paper. I'm currently using bogus paper which is a little bit thicker and more absorbent then newspaper.

Thank you mark, was just worried about him and I feel bad I let it happen that eco carpet is GONE. I really hope he doesn't remember it and end up hating me lol
