Does anyone know if green beans are okay for turtles? We buy big batches of vegetables and chop them and freeze them in ice cube trays for the beardie, and we're trying to come up with a mix that will be safe if we want to share them with the turtles. They could definitely use the extra variety in their diets. Any other suggestions would be welcome too!

I feed my RES some frozen, cooked green beans once and a while. I believe it's one of those "not too often" foods.

We actually just got green beans the other day and I was wondering the same thing. Hopefully someone else will answer!

We also routinely during the summer get things like corn, sugar snap peas, and asparagus. Are any of these things okay?

My turtles love corn. They don't get it very often, because it's pretty high in sugar, but they probably get it about once a month through the summer.

Snap peas, I'm not sure. I know regular peas are on the "not too often" list, but snap peas are a bit different. I've tried snap peas with Ralph (raw), but with not too much success.
EDIT: I see snap peas have a Ca:P ratio of about 1:1.5 (cooked), so I would imagine they are also on the "not too often" list.

I'm not sure about asparagus, but the calcium:phosphorous ratio is about 1:2 (recommended is 2:1). It also has a high purine level (Thanks wikipedia!) which can cause gout.
I wouldn't recommend asparagus, but then, I don't like it myself
