Hi desert iguanas are mainly vegetarians, some will eat superworms or crickets, mine does not ! They love flowers, especially yellow flowers ! Here a a few ideas

Collard greens
kale
endive
romaine
shredded squash
shredded carrot
string beans
peas
shredded radish
shredded apple

as you can see most veggies ! Some fruits, Mine also loves small chunks of banana

Dandelion flowers and the green leaves,
rose pedals
lilys
pansies

just try things ! And others will add to the list, I'm sure.

My DI's love to eat collared greens, watercress, bok choy, dandellion greens, with small amounts of pear, mango or applesauce. On occasion I will give them a couple of wax worms and a small cricket or two. But the worms and crickets are to be used as treats NOT a main diet. Also make sure that you have their cage at 80-100 degrees at all times, and a uv ligth for during the day. They are very sensitive animals and their digestion needs the right temperatures and uv light to work right. 70-80 degrees is TOO COLD just so you know...trust me I learned from experience unfortunately.
