Feeding guidelines
Should not be fed regularly. Essentially crunchy water with no nutritional benefit.
If used at all only as a rare hydration aid during hot weather.
Commonly fed because it's cheap and reptiles eat it readily — iceberg lettuce provides almost no nutrition and can fill up an animal without nourishing it.
