yesterday I got home from visiting family and when I got my savannah out to feed him i noticed his toes are dried and one had fallen off !!! I haven't had him out for a few day because I have been very busy with a school project. He still eats, mostly crickets and mealworms and when the pet store has pinkies in he gets one of those, and I always dust them. Has this happened to anyone before? please help

The most common cause is dried shed around the toes cutting off the blood flow. I have also heard of tiny loops of thread from carpet getting wound around toes. I'd check the rest of the toes very very carefully.

Sounds like your animal is kept in too dry conditions, and too cool. I say this because when kept warm enough they shed all of the time and have a damp substrate they ca prevent moisture loss, usually underground. Look carefully around all the toes and see a vet quickly about geeting any excess removed that is constricting if youve never removed it before yourself.
