I don't really see anything wrong with the varied diet you just sited, I thought you said she had "ONLY" eaten goldfish for 8 yrs and that was a bit of a surprise. If you already have pinkies and fuzzies for other reptiles and she serves as the "garbage disposal" and will always eat their leftovers, then I would think it would just be easier for you to cut out the goldfish and feed her mice. I feed exclusively mice, mainly for ease and time, but a lot of people prefer to feed a more natural variety diet, either way is fine, but 80% goldfish is probably pushing the envelope of complete balanced nutrition and good optimal health, IMHO.
