Getting food out of their mouth

Hey guys, I haven't been here in a long time because of school and such, but I was wondering how you are supposed to get food out of a garter's mouth. I ask this because I was feeding mine today and he jumped out of his container before I had the chance to close it, got substrate all over it (which is what killed one of my garters before, so I'm pretty sensitive about it), then wouldn't let go of it when I tried to get it out of his mouth.
Eventually I ended up picking all of the little pieces of substrate off and putting him back into the separate enclosure (which was extremely hard because the worm was extra wet and slimy from a previous attempt to get all the substrate off).
