collard greens, mustard greens, parsley, dandelion greens, escarole, spinach, and kale. Iceberg lettuce should be avoided as it offers no nutritional value and iguanas can become hooked on it, refusing to eat other foods. Other vegetables that are good to offer include green beans, green peppers, frozen mixed vegetables, squash, and fruits, such as, bananas, apples, mangos, papaya. Iguana's eat flowers….pretty much all squash….dark greens…..wide variety of fruit.
DONT MIND IT IF I REPEATED SOMETHINHG!

I have a green iguana also and he can have lots of things. Some things I wouldn't have even thought that he could have. You can find alot more info about them on the net. I have included some websites that may help you with things!

I feed collard greens ripped in pieces no bigger than his head, some small pieces of apple/cucumber/squash/strawberrys/ that kind of stuff. Nothing with alot of acid. I sprinkle "iguana dust", & calcium with VIT.D3 on the food. Now trptomin makes a "soft gel" fruit & vegetable diet that my guy LOVES . That can be added as a yummie part of his diet. I pamper them, their water I change twice a day. I feed at breakfast when I eat, lunch when I eat, & supper whe I eat. But thats your choice.
No roman lettuce because it has no nutritional value.
Also he would probably enjoy a bath. Probably about 24X24. They love to swim.
I'm sure yu already have a heat lampt, lighting etc.
Iguanas dont eat if their cold, make sure hes warm.
He supose to be green, thats probably because your doing something rite or hes getting older & his color.
GOOD LUCK HUN.
