Do I have to pick one? Whatever your turtle will eat is best. Better to have variety than just one thing.

Dandelion green are nutritionally the best. But a well-balanced diet would include all or some of the others as well.

I trade off turnip greens and the leaf lettuces usually. I try and only use foods that my skink can also eat or else stuff goes bad and gets wasted. I have yet to make it to a whole foods store though, so i haven't been able to offer dandelion greens. I really want to though.

All of them are the best, actually. You can feed your turtles, one of those only, or a combination of them all if you want to.

My turtle likes green leaf best. Usually I'll check which lettuce looks the most fresh and get that. I try to include all 4 of those. My turtle dislikes turnip greens the most. I think I'll use turnip greens for her jello next time.

Honestly I can't get my turtle to eat straight greens. She'll only go for the frozen cubes. I think it was because she was raised pretty much just on pellets.
