As already mentioned I would not think that these guys would do well in rubbermaids, they need natural light as they are dinural animals. I have a bunch that I have managed to get started on mice, but the others refuse fish and mice, i feed them tree frogs or anoles whenever they are available, but they have gotten used to being forcefed pinkys, it doesn't seem to stress them out too much because i have a pair that i have been forcefeeding regularly for around 2 years now and they are still doing well.
