I hope you're kidding. Lettuce isn't a good source for any nutrition and should be taken out of her diet totally. Feed your iguana 80% collard greens, mustard greens, turnip greens etc, 10% squash, green beens, peas, carrots, 10% fruit(no citrus). Please do some reading on the internet so you can find out how to properly care for your iguana, otherwise she will die an early death. How the pet store fed her wasn't your fault, but how you care for her now is. Also, make sure you have a proper heat source, UVB lighting(preferably zoo med's iguana light 5.0) and a good sized enclosure. Let us know how it goes please.

Good Luck,
