Actually I have been a hard core venomous snake keeper for a long time so I am indeed farmiliar with what a dry bite is. Venomous snakes have the ability to control venom yield. They have very advanced venom glands and muscle structure around the glands and ducts. Varanids on the other hand do not based on the location of the glands and their delivery system. They do not have hollow fangs where the duct is directly attached like it is in viperids or elapids nor do they have the muscles surrounding the glands and ducts.
I am pretty certain that they are not capable of delivering a dry bite.
