A great green to use for gutloading is Kale. I would recomend using it over any of the lettuces.

Well, I know that Kale is nutritious, but I know that for tortoises it can bind calcium which isn't a good thing.
I have NO IDEA what it would do to anything being gut-loaded with it, or what that, in turn, could or would do to a leo.

I use progecko's gutload. For moisture, I cut a potato in half putting it skin side down and push into the gotload so they will tend to eat it from the top. Sometimes I'll put greens and carrots across the top of the potatos. I put potato skin side down to keep the gut load from geting moist and moldy.

I give all my feeder's the same dry food, I am currently using out of date oxbow gerbil food, which is essentially the same thing as the rat pellets you see at stores. Which I grind up and add in Oatmeal, a multi grain flour mix, bee pollen, dandelion powder, calendula powder, honey, and molasses. I just toss it in the food processor to mix it all up and store it in the freezer.

Roaches and crickets get water crystals, Mealies get cucumber slices (my garden is too productive)...

Oh yeah, I grow pheonix worms in the compost, so they get whatever I throw out.

I just wish I had more tomato hornworms in the garden, only found one this year and my beardies at it in half a second.
