I've been going through some footage taken last year and earlier this year of the perentie at work digging test holes just before nesting.

This was taken a couple of days before her first clutch, in November

nice vids

the sand looks very dry or is that just surface dry and damper underneath?

The sand is dry on the surface, humid underneath (you can see that more clearly in the first video, but she eventually got deep enough in the second, too.

The eggs are still being incubated but hatchlings will not be released into the wild as we don't know the exact locale the parents originated from (and may have come from different locales).
