simple answer yes.

skin it then grate it and mix into normal food.
any squash can be used and are a good food item.

It's a good staple for iggys. Mine loves it! Sweet potato is also good, and at this time of year, I pick (pesticide free) dandelion leaves and flowers from the garden for her.

This might be useful for you, its a food chart that breaks down whats good/ bad for iguanas, the recommended regularity to feed and the ratios etc.

Is it ok for Beardies too? That iguana chart looked really helpful are there any for Beardies like that?

Not as clear as the iguana chart but not bad either, I do not use it myself but im sure some of the veg there in the list will be helpful for you, but i dont think i would feed some of the meats they have on that chart such as beef etc i think i would stick to crickets and locusts, but it does seem pretty handy for the veg
