From personal conversations with trappers/exporters in Suriname and Guyana they have been found to eat ANYTHING.
From anoles/plica plica lizards to pacas, agoutis, four eye possums, monkeys of all types, nestling birds both arboreal and ground nesters, and one regurged upon capture a cane toad.
Now, this is from first hand experiences as they actually trap these animals and observe some behaviors. When found with meals, they notice to be in shade. But not limited to as they have also found them to be in the sun. Now how to translate these and more observations to captivity and reproduce these factors/conditions would be doable but as always more info is needed. That is where experience comes in and trial and error.
