Then you support the corners of the cage and place a heavy brick or plant pot in the center of the cage. This will cause the bottom of the cage to bow downward and the water will drain out the center.





The first picture of this post, those racks are perfect. Allows for drainage, and they come in all sorts of sizes, easy to build too.

That's a 48"x18".
I picked it up a Lowes.
I can fit three 16x16x30's per shelf. Which work perfect because the 48" ReptiSuns fit right over them.
The far left cage barely rubs the pole when you open the door, and the far right cage door doesn't open all the way.
It's perfectly fine that the door doesn't open all the way. All I do is dump in crickets.
On the top are two 18x18x36's. I'm going to be removing and replacing them with the 16x16x30's.
This will become my female pardalis rack.
You can order larger 60"x24" racks on www.amazon.com . I think they are around 150$.

Howdy Joe,

I like my pans too . Unfortuantely they were a real pain to make. I used my brother's precision vertical circular saw setup to make the acrylic plastic cuts. Every time I made a pan it always seemed to take hours from start to finish .

I'm looking forward to seeing what Jason's production drain pans look like .

Well here is my setups. I used to over do the drainage but the easiest way I found was a pan and a rack with lots of slots in it.

A hole can be drilled through the bottom of the table, and a hole poked through the mesh, a tupperware container placed under the table, and TA-DA! you have drainage. I know this isn't practical for everyone, but since I only have one cham right now I can spoil him (If you look real close, you can see the little guy basking near the top on the vines)
Interesting placement of your basking light (on the side).
