Typical high and low temperatures for this species fluctuate significantly (100 high, 42 low) between day and night temperatures. Deeper burrows likely insulate from these fluctuations significantly.
Highest temperatures are coupled with highest rainfall (still fairly low, under 5" per month even in heaviest rain months)
