: Green igs eggs - in contrast to leo eggs- are extremely sensitive against temp. changes during incubation. So you just cannot do the same things as some people do for leos. In addition, these experiments in Leos just produce modificastions and can never end up with any inheritable trait.

PS: As far as I know, high temps produce more males in Igs as in many reptiles. Incubation temps above 85 F yield only males-but hatching rate is low at such elevated temps.
