I use various prey items... some snakes get "special diets" during certain periods of time.
-Mice
-Rats (pups and weanlings)
-Gerbils
-Hamsters
-Chicks (I hate the way these smell wen they exit... but they are good 4 a females after they lay)
As far as nutritional value I think chicks are the lowest on that list, so I don't make it a main source of nutrition.
So to answer your question, i think there is a benefit to a varied diet... i see better gains when i switch it up from time to time... I can't do it all the time due to changes in cost and availability but i try to "spice it up" when i have the means to do so.
