For the best list that I know of, go to beautifuldragons.com . Veronica has really done her homework on this.

Romaine lettuce,mustard greens,collard greens,dandelion greens and stuff like that.DONT feed to much spinach or kale and related plants because they block the absorbtion of calcium.

According to the chart at beautifuldragons.com (which is like gospel to me,) kale is actually better than romaine lettuce. Neither make good staples, though, but are ok occasionally.
Most importantly to the starter of this thread.... carrots are NOT a good staple. If you're gonna feed him something regularly, it should be greens such as leofreak mentioned......collard, mustard, or dandelion greens. Carrots should be fed rarely, at best. They are not nutritionally good for your lizard to have all the time.
