Believe me... I'm a iguana owner and I've seen what happened if the iguana is fed to much Romaine and not enough of other nutritious greens and veggies. The animals become stunted and don't grow nearly as much. Why feed it something that will take up room in its stomach that can be use to be filled with more nutritious greens and veggies? What I do if I worried about my iguana or bearded not getting enough water is I spray the greens really well with water. This way when they eat the greens they will get a lot of water that way, too. And the simplest way of making sure your animals stay hydrated is to offer a bowl of water to it...simple! I know that desert animals rarely see standing water, but I find that given the opportunity they will learn to exploit the source. Dessert animals are good at exploiting sources of water. I've seen my bearded dragon drink from the bowl before despite what everyone else says.
