Unsure if white "sack" is potentially eggs?

Well spotted. Few pictures of this species in its burrow. I will ask Dave Rentz about the white sac.

Dave is impressed with your picture, now featured, but is uncertain about the nature of the white blob but probably not eggs.

I am forwarding your image to the director of conservation research, Environment ACT, to alert them of the significance of your finding.

@RogerF - all good mate, TL of the Fauna team within CR has advised that it is just its stomach.
