Noooo....Spinach contains Oxalic acid. Oxalic acid binds the calcium and lowers the amount of calcium the dragon receives when it’s fed to them. Incorrect amounts of calcium in the diet can cause MBD (Metabolic Bone Disease) and other illnesses.

Feeding a varied diet, supplementing properly and avoiding veggies that contain Oxalic acid will help safeguard against MBD and other diseases affected by nutrition.
