Drainage from cages?

[ParabuthusKing]

How do you all deal with the water that builds up on the bottom of cages?? I have 3 exoterra 24" x 24" x 48" cages with MistKing system misting all the tanks. There is a fairly large volume of water that builds up on the bottom of cages after a period of about one week. I am thinking about building a basin beneath tanks with a plastic liner to collect water, but was wondering what ideas other people had?? Thanks and have a nice day !!

Doesn't your cage ever dry out daily? you have water standing in there for a week?

It can be as simple as getting a pre-made rubber drawer that the cage can sit on and drilling through the bottom of the cage and drawer "box". Water drains into the drawer and you can just empty the drawer as needed. If your cage seems too heavy for the rubber drawer system, you can use a table. Cut a big hole in the top set the cage over it, drill holes in the bottom over the hole in the table. Put the drawer under the table to catch the water.
