I know what you are saying ... many species of mammals, birds, fish, lizards, etc, benefit from a varied diet.

Ball pythons, however, are very specialized and can thrive on a diet of healthy rodent prey.

They aren't like those other animals you are making the comparison to ... and they actually do better when kept on a single type of prey.
