A couple nights ago my baby was in his crib sleeping (I had thought), and started making an awful gagging sound! I ran to check on him and he had his fingers in his mouth and was choking! Why didn't he take out his fingers?? He's 3 mths now, so he's in that stage where he likes playing with his hands.

I think all babies do this when they discover their hands! All mine did. There is not much you can do to stop it, maybe you wouldn't want to as it is all part of their development. Don't worry, your baby will not choke!

try wrapping him in a blanket the way the Indians did with his hands in the blanket tight but not to tight it helps to comfort them in sleep and my to kids 11&3 stared sleeping all night and no more chocking

Its about time for him to get curious about his hands,feet,mouth,tongue, lips even blankets. The mouth is the first place anything will go.

My daughter did it as well and it used to really bother me. I tried to stop her every time but she would just stick them right back in. I agree that it's an exploratory phase, she just stopped one day. Try not to worry about it (I know, easier said than done).
