I'll be the 5th to say bugs/rodents is the way to go but if you must feed meat on VERY rare occasions ground beef is one of the worst meats you could feed a reptile. They do not digest beef fat very well and it makes a nasty mess on the other end. I learned this with turtles when I was like 11 or 12 and I'm 39 now. It's that messy that I only made that mistake about twice and still remember the mess all these years later.
