I've heard corn, carrots and peas can convert to sugar and it's not healthy. However I do not feed those to my iguana and Uro. Instead they get veggies like parsnips, which is high in protein, and butternut squash mixed in with the greens like mustard, dandelion, collard, endive, and escarole. I give them as much as they want and they never get fat. I was doing research on iguana on anapsid.org and Melissa Kaplan said to feed iguanas as much as they will eat. I feed her iguana salad to my Uro. She does say to stay away from corn, and carrots, though.
