The full grown discoids are far to big to feed to anything i have. But since they are constantly breeding, I have a good variance of sizes to be able to feed to my leos. The small roaches are good for feeding to babies, but they are fast, so the leos have got to work for it. When i feed my hatchlings I usually put them in a seperate container to feed them roaches so A) the roaches can't hide and B) they actually have a chance to catch them haha. as far as escapees go, be careful. If some escape, come winter they should die off, since they are tropical roaches. But thats just my understanding haha. Your best bet is to do everything in your power to make sure they don't escape. I'm lucky enough to have spiders in my house, and one of them has set up shop next to my roaches. I've seen a few smaller ones in his web, so either A) he's taking care of my escapees or B) he's taking food out as he pleases. I figure even if he is taking a few here and there, I should let him, seeing as how he's protecting my house from a discoid outbreak. My apologies for the extremely long paragraph with no breaks.
