My half-ass flexariums drainage
I have flexariums too. I messed around with a few ideas with various bins inside and outside. What I ended up with (now have) is this - I bought the softrays, I have one on the OUTside of the whole back (to catch spray from hitting wall) and then I have another one on the OUTside of the bottom.
The reason I have them on the OUTsides rather than the inside is so that there is still mesh available for a) chameleon but especially b) insects to climb up from the bottom and the back, as opposed to if softrays or plastic bin was on the INside of mesh.
So anyway, the bottom edge of the back one is tucked inside the bottom one, so that if water spray runs down it goes inside bottom tray. Then I just poked a hole in the bottom soft tray.
I have the cages up on a plastic shelf. The shelf has spaces, slots, grids, whatever. I just positioned the hole over one of the slot spaces in the shelf do it drips down freely to the plastic bin I placed underneath on the bottom shelf.
The only issue with the softrays being on the outside rather than the inside of the mesh being opening the zipper up all the way. I almost never do though. I usually am just zipping half to 3/4 of the way down, then all across the top, so it makes a big triangle. I almost never get down far enough to notice any interference by the softray.
Kind of ghetto, I suppose, lol. But it was EASY and it works a lot better than my earlier attempts. No building, no tools, lol. I think I literally used like scissors and then stabbed the snip hole with a pen! Hahaha that's about as crafty as I get.
cut a hole in both use pvc pipe or whatever and lead tit to a bucket? i've never done anything like that but i thought it might help you.
