Hi!
Got a 2 months old veiled female. She is in a exo terra. Humidity is 60-80% all day long and about 80F at her basking spot and 74F lower down in the cage.

My problem is that the bottom of the cage is getting flooded from mostly my misting, I do have a dripper going 2-5 h a day and I got a bowl down in the bottom catching the dripping water. But I guess it is my misting making the cage flooded? I got no substrate any more, I used to have newpaper.

The dilemma is that Im worried that she will get dehydrated if I cut down on misting... :( (Mist 3-4 times a day). I have already seen some light yellow color in her urine.. What should I do? I cant keep drain her cage on 5liters water.. And Im not in for drilling some sort of drainage holes in the bottom..

What should I do ?
 
If the water doesn evaporate you will have to:
Install a catch can/bowl under the mister
Install a drain with a bucket under the cage
Or wet dry vac the water out at the end of the day

In large screen cages i can get away with having the water pool at the bottom and install a small dc fan at the bottom to make the water evaporate.

im misting with one of these: 968_48_Sprayflaska1_mediumplus.jpg
So im misting pretty much all over the cage.
 
ALSO! just a couple of minutes ago she fell/jumped of her branch from the top of the cage!! But landed on the mesh net that was covering the watercatching bowl, so I think it was a soft landing, but still... she fell?! Is this normal? Should I be worried??? She seem fine except that she haven´t left the lower part of the cage yet..
