Absorbtion of water???

[odafix]

Hello everyone I know there are many options on how to drainage the bottom of a cage and most of them are drilling a hole and put a container underneath to catch the water BUT in my case I can't drill no holes I have set my two cages on top of a table so I can not make no hole to that table so I was wondering if I can use something to absorb the water instead any suggestion please I appreciate 

Hmmm you could use a shamwow.....

But I use a few sponges on the bottom that I rinse out every night and then on friday I take them out clean them and let them dry

I was thinking about putting a layer of perlite down and a layer of larger rocks on top. Theoretically this could absorb a lot as well as help with humidity levels. Not sure if it would work, but in might be something to try.

You could buy some shelving like I did and set the cages on that. They have shelves at home depot and Lowes what aren't solid, so you just drill small holes in the cage and let the water run Dow . It's an easy/cheap solution. But if you really want to use your table, I'm sure someone else can give you some tips.

Thanks guys where can i get the perlite? I was thinking on some coconuts soil and on top put some bark or so you think it may work?

Or just get 3 lengths of wood, put them around the Sides of the cage so it is suspended with the front side open and slide a cat litter tray under

Just a thought

you can buy perlite at any garden center. you will have to change it often or let it dry and rotate it. make sure the rock are larger then the chameleons head so they wont be able to by accident eat them.

Ok so if the perlite will absorb it I'll get ASAP thank you all for your replays 
