How many greens?

I understand as an adult 70%-80% of their diet should be greens, but how many greens do I give? Like, how many ounces? I am just worried I might be over feeding him because his poops have been watery even though he doesn't have parasites (took him to the vet). I usually have a mix of collard greens and turnip greens as his staple, sometimes I mix a little kale in it to give variety.

Are you rinsing the greens before feeding? I have not heard of just greens giving watery stools but too much squash will --- what are you using for a UVB and where in the tank is it? Basking temps? digital probe to get them? I feed a bowl full usually of turnip collard and kale mixed -- poops are moist and formed and dark for poop and urate white---

I rinse and dry, just to make sure no dirt or anything is left. He doesn't like squash, usually I'll mix in bell peppers, broccoli, carrot, or something just to give it some contrast. He doesn't get much fruit, maybe once or twice a month. UVB is 10.0 T5 tube, inside the tank, about 15in away from the bottom (if he climbs on his decor about 10in). Basking is about 105-110, taken with both probe and heat gun. His poops are usually mushy and barely formed surrounded with liquid, but completely digested.

I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
