Lettuce leaves out vitamins that are key in overall growth and health of the lizard long term. Things like bok choy, kale, collard greens, mustard greens, turnip greens, or dandelion greens are much better. Remember to vary the diet. Don't feed one thing all the time.

I never gave my Iggy mangoes, but they can have them. Do NOT give your iguana anything like apples, pineapple, stuff like that...It will eat their stomach. (17 year s experience with iguanas). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yes, one of the best fruits you can give them. Just remember fruits should only make up 10% of their diet. Feed them leafy greens like Collards. Never lettuce.
