Green Iguanas: Is my care right?

I just decided. I have 11snakes, I can take care of a Green Iguana. Im gonna be ordering the 65 gallon tall screen cage Kit from LLLreptile.com.. Its everything for Baby Green Iguanas. (im gonna add more branches to that since it fails to provide them in the Kit)

So that brings me to my first question:

Is a 65 gallon screen cage adequate for a baby green iguana? How long will it last?

Now here is what I plan on feeding :

(No dogfood,.cat food, heard that was bad)

Mustard Greens

Greens

Dandelions

And Kale. What else do you suggest?

How often should I be feeding all these veggies to a baby?

All answers and tips would be nice.

    Have a fresh bowl of your veggies/ greens available every day. Stuff gets old, throw it out (daily). You'll see in time how much food to put in there to waste less. 65 gal is good for a baby but you'll probably need to update in a year or two. I suggest building your own. Makes things a lot less complicated in the long run. Experiment with veggies and fruits. They're particular, and you don't want to overdue the treats. Your food list is perfectly fine. One of my guy's favs was green beans... he'd pick it out and eat it first. (not recomended for the babies cause they can choke... had a close call once on that one) Had another one that hated fruits of any kind.. stick with what you've got as a staple but it's always good to add special snacks, just gotta feel em out for what they like in that dept. Just stick to the basics, iguana care info has come a long way in the last 5 years as far as availability and accuracy goes. Just do your homework and you should be fine.
