Drainage

At the moment I'm using a wooden vivarium whilst my veiled is still a baby, Over the last two weeks all the water has been leaking out all the joins of the walls/base to fix this i thought I'd be clever by lining the Viv with a black bin liner about 3 inches high around the base and then using a thick layer of cotton cloths to soak up some of the water, now the water obviously has no where to thus causing the bottom of the viv to be a shallow swimming pool and a crickets watery grave, canyone have any ideas of how to set up an inexpensive drainage system for a non screened vivarium ??

one way that you could get around this is get one of those plastic under bed storage containers and have the cage sit over it by spanning it with some dowels or "1by" pieces of wood.

A picture of your cage from two sides and the bottom would help more.

also consider using search option for idea on "drain system" or catch system

Here is how i do my drain:


The black tub is a "super tub" from Lowes. You can find it in the cement mixing section. It sits a a slight angle so all the water from my mister goes to that corner.

The cage itself has no floor. Its just four walls and a ceiling. This makes it super easy to clean as i can just wipe out the super tub.

The drain is a flush mounting sink drain. I connected a 3" to 3/4" adaptor to the outside, then used the hose to go down to a milk jug. The milk jug has since been replaced with a 3 gallon container, but everything else is the same.
