The same thing you feed a baby iguana except the pieces are bigger.
Collard greens, mustard greens, turnip greens, watercress, butternut squash, mango pieces, kiwi pieces, plums, dandelion greens and flowers, hibiscus leaves and flowers, apple bits, carrot bits...there are probably more but my brain cant think of anymore right now.
Do not give them spinach and kale because its high in oxcalates that bind calcium. Do not give them bananas because it doesn't have the correct calcium to phosphorus ratio and its high in potassium. One piece of banana in a blue moon is ok tho.
Do not give them lettuce of any kind because it is equivalent to wet cardboard. Never give them animal proteins because they cause renal failure.

Same thing you feed them when they are small. Vegetables, just more of them. Crickets and grasshoppers are not a good food source for larger lizards as they would have to eat several dozen a day just to stop being hungry. Seriously people if you are feeding a 6 foot iggie crickets, you are starving them to a slow death. Do some research before you buy a reptile or stick to gerbils. Crickets are only a good dietary need when they are babies. But as an adult, they might like a cricket as an occasional snack, but as a main source of diet no way.
