But alligators choose decaying organic matter which can rise to quite high
temperatures, and turtles use beaches in the sun. My experience is that
even in beach or desert sand, if you dig down a ways the temperature is
much lower.

I think that the experience of a hole as being cool occurs only in the
temperate zone. Remember that alligators and turtles bury their eggs so
that they do not cool off and maintain hatching temperature.
