I feed collards, mustard, turnip greens as my staple. On occasion I also feed kale (not often because it is goitrogenic), dandelion, and the very green tops of romaine (not often because it is not as nutritious), and hibiscus leaves/flowers.

Since I have quite a few lizards, one of them being an iguana who seems to never stop eating , having greens around is not an issue. It is harder if you only have one plant eater. Buy small quantities of greens and learn to pack them well so they will keep.

I also learned of another option recently...dehydrated veggies from San Francisco Bay. I just bought a big container of them to try out. For me they are great to add variety or if I'm on vacation. I also have a picky uro and was trying something different. Anyway, it may be too expensive to use as a regular food, but you can find it at on-line pet stores and such (pet mountain, etc).
