Drainage for 18x18x36 Reptibreeze

[PappaRONzi]

Hello everyone. I have had my Cham for a week now and quickly realizing that my drainage is not working! I thought that I would catch most of the water in the plants and have a little spill into the pan. I have a 1/2 inch of water in the catch tray everyday and it is a pain. I am trying to figure out a way to control the water and make it easier to drain the extra water. What are people doing with this cage to control the water.

I use the super simple method...
drill a hole in the bottom of my cage and put a bucket under it, works perfect

Yup thats about the only way!

Get those storage shelves.. Drill a couple holes in the bottom of your cage and drill a big hole in the shelving (you can also buy it with slits and not solid) and put a bin underneath. I go through about 10 gallons a week on my two cams and empty the bins every 4 days or so. pretty easy

So does the cage sit on the bucket? Or is it supported by something else? Love to see a pic.
