Close call!!

[Reptilegal]

Today i had BARNABAS out on the trampoline to get some sun as i hadnt taken him out for 3 weeks while he was getting ready to shed.
I had bought a worm farm this morn and as he was basking, i was about 5 metres away setting up the worm farm.
I kept checking on him every min or 2
And then the eventually moved on the grass to poop,

But then as i was putting the worms in the farm, i was having some trouble and i completely forgot about BARNABAS!!!
about half an hour went by and i suddenly remembered!! I said S**T!!! and ran to the trampoline and franticaly looked through nearby gardens and trees while also trying to watch where i step so i dont tread on him!
I was hiperventilating and shaking like crazy thinking 'what if i never find him!! He wont be able to cope living wild!!! He might get hurt from wild animals!!'
I screamed for mum and she said she will look in trees gardens and open areas and i will look in the long grass.

10 min went by and then i saw his head poking out of metre long grass!
I picked him up and put him on my shoulders and just hugged him and i started crying!!
Mum came over and even gave me a hug!! ( she likes the snake but doesnt want to go near it)
I just kep saying "oh my god, that was not good"
I just stood there crying and... In a way.. 'hugging' my boy for about 5 min!!! I was saying "i love you so much, i cant believe i found you, im not leaving your side again!!"

So there was my close call!!!
