Your Gecko/lizards favorite salad mix?

[Salt4Sam]

Ok, so I've been mixing it up and buying different greens to see what my little guys like. I am curious as to what is included in the best salad you bring to the feeding dish is.

I think I have found my bearded salad for sure, I've never actually seen them run over for a salad. Collards, mustards, dandelions, chopped tomato, and chopped butternut squash. Give it a sprinkle of calcium, and they are on it like white on rice. For my uromastyx, I found a small store that special orders prickly pear, they love that stuff, plus kale, mustards, pok choy, and collards. I've found that my bearded like blackberries too.

My beardie is the only reptile I have that eats salad. I alternate with "spring mix" (yes, it does have a certain amount of lettuce, but also other good stuff), collard greens and arugula. I find I have to parboil the squash or else it goes right through her. Any kind of fruit has been appreciated. My favorite time is in the summer when she strolls through my porch garden sampling the produce. She really loves fresh dill for some reason but also pigs out on hibuscus leaves and geranium leaves.

my beardie LOVES lettuce, which is annoying as i know it has no nutritional value...
