(sorta) Update: The molds should be done on Friday and we should have some costs by then, too...possibly even the first couple of units.

yay!! upload the pic for us to see (if you have the first units/ prototype done )

I guess I am not sure what this potential product is for. I am not trying to be offensive or anything like that I really just do not know. I have really only used reptariums, one ESU and some customs.

Is this like for people with screen bottoms or like a replacement piece for the solid bottom plastic cages?

There are no commercially available drip trays that are sized to fit the screen cages commonly used with chameleons, insects, and other herps. (Full screen bottoms are a bad idea due to sanitation issues, anyway.) The flat piece of PVC that comes with the screen cages is, well, flat, until you put a big plant in the center of it.

Unfortunately, we're still a couple of days out from anything. The plastic guy's CNC machine has been down for two days, so he hasn't been able to make the molds.

here is a great product for some size cages to use as a drip tray
just give it a lift with some plastic blocks in 5 spots and your set
4 in the corners and 1 in the center 3/4 in is great
look around online their called Mess Catcher about 20-28 bucks for a 24x24

what is the word with the new trays?

It kind of got moved into https://www.chameleonforums.com/molded-drip-tray-9127/ We're still working on the details.

The problem with those trays (nice first post, hmmmmmm) is the wasted area for the seed catching lip. That's over 7" per cage of dead area on a rack.

The material is similar to that used in a 2 liter cola bottle.

Niiiiiiiiice...and they're selling for that much?
