Advice Please! (Escaped in the Yard)

Yesterday my bearded dragon escaped out the door when someone left the door open. He is very familiar with our yard as he is often outside but never before without a harness and lead (with bell) and strict supervision. We checked all his usual hang out spots but we live on the edge of rainforest and suspect he has headed in there. It rained last night but hot and sunny this morning and hope to see him come out looking for some warmth today. My question is, what are the chances of him surviving the night in the rainforest on a stormy night. It dropped to about 14degrees celsius. I am so worried as he is my baby.

It's a little cooler than you would like but he will probably find somewhere to hide- keep watching your sunny spots as he will seek out the sun for warmth-

There I still no sign of my little man. In order for him to sun himself he has to come out onto the lawn so I am hoping he is still hiding and cones out soon. I am now concerned about the humidity in the air. We are currently in the middle of a heatwave with storms through the late afternoon and night. This is resulting in high humidity.

Usually over 70% is not good - have you tried setting food out for him-
