Hi Kert,
I have spoken with two different importers of this species. Both have had multiple WC green females from Java produce polymorphic clutches. According to one of the importers both green and grey adults are found in the same area of Java.
This seems to support polymorphism rather that some sort of inter-locality breeding. Also, if it were inter-locality breeding we'd expect some sort of blending of coloration, possibly, rather than clutches consisting of either green or grey specimens.
Regarding temps, I have heard of a lot of problems with spinal kinking and hydrocephaly at higher temps and reported better success at lower temps.
On the other hand, I have a few translated European articles that do recommend the higher temps. So who knows?
Regardless, I hope I can figure this out myself someday.
