Yes they are likely lizard feeders by nature, but so are many types of snakes that are bred in captivity and fed a diet of mice.

I've kept a few longnoses and know others who have as well. Most of us were able to get them feeding on rodents w/o much fuss. Young longnoses can be stubborn lizard feeders, but even those can be tricked onto mice if you have the patience. They do well in captivity and behave much like a milksnake in my opinion - kind of shy, may musk when held, etc.

They breed easily too. The hatchlings are small and will likely need lizard scenting.
