I think variety is a good thing if it will take it. There is a tiny risk/worry/possibility that they may prefer one prey item over another and if this isn't rats then you would have to feed more than one in a sitting and this works out more fiddly and expensive. If your snake will happily eat anything in front of it though then no harm mixing it up, just avoid chicks because seriously it makes their poop stink.
