Have you tried collard greens, dandelion greens, mustard or turnup greens? Escarole is also a good stable green. If your dragon is picky, chop the greens very fine and mix them well. The smaller the pieces the more difficult for him to pick out just the pieces he likes. I also agree that spinach is very bad to feed, as it has oxates that bind calcium, meaning his body can't use the calcium he injests.



Also, increase his basking temp a bit, it's a bit low. Also, make sure the light intensity is high and change the UVB bulb as well. I would also raise it higher than 4" from the hammick, as 4" is too close, too much risk he can touch the hot bulb and burn himself.
