I've started a new thread for this discussion, as it doesn't fit in the one it evolved from, which was about feeding times.

Dragon Lady, why do you say not to use cos lettuce?
It is also known as romaine lettuce, and according to the "Bearded Dragon Manual", it is the overall best green to use. Check out pg. 57 if you have it.
I use it almost every day, supplemented with other greens, fruit and vegetables.

Coz...(Romaine) & Iceberg lettuce,has very little if no natural vitamins....but is great to help with hydration
thats why we all do use lettuce....in summer...
Reptiles...in this case we are talking dragons...drink very little & in the higher heats hydration is needed
With youngsters...hatchies...bokchoy varieties...also endive will give better nutritional value ..at basically the same expense than lettuce of any variety
I only use fruit or veg generally as garnish ...on top of the greens
& fruit only on top every other greens feed
Once mine are minimum of 12-16 wks...depending on size..they dont generally get greens every day
I do try to always include dandelion ,rose,hybiscus pettals..milk thistles where possible
