Draining solution for my new Pro Mist

[Nicodemayo]

Well i ordered the "HerpMist.com Big Enchilada Misting System" yesterday cause it was my birthday and my parents paid for it for me. Ive been wanting one for awhile cause i plan on expanding my collection in the future(lol) and breeding and this is really my only option. Even with a pump sprayer, spraying chams 3 times a day can take up some serious time. My big question is for drainage. Im not hooking this sucker up until i find a affordable and effective solution to draining off the water. What "at home" designs have proven most effective for you guys? I know Chad was tossing around prototype trays but i havnt heard anything of these and i need something soon before i set up my system. I have a 23x22x39inch (when i made it my measurements went terribly wrong and i was to lazy to even things out haha) wooden cage i have my panther in and i have a 14x14x24 screen cage i built for my female vieled. This wednesday i plan to move my vieled into the panther cage and build a new 2x2x5ft cage for oscar, my panther. If they were the same size i would put a tilted floor of pvc on the bottom running into a gutter but since theyre different i have them sitting on 2 different height wooden stands. Any ideas?

KISS=Keep It Simple Stupid.

ahaha I should follow that rule more often.... In the drainage dept. I did follow the KISS rule:

Place a bucket under the end where the water runs off.

Drainage

I drilled a 4 inch hole in the middle of the PVC board ,then glued a piece of aluminum screen and a funnel underneath. Under that i place a large deli cup that gets drained evey morning

i did something like this but instead of a big hole it was more of 5 small holes in the center. the problem with this is the water just sits on the pvc if its not drawn to the center. i fixed this is varrious rocks, pens, anything to a good size that would cause the outer edges of the pvc to be slanted up. now everything "rolls" to the center to drain. it takes a minute to get the rocks and sutch in place once you get the heavy plants in but its easy.

I got a really good setup so far. Ill post pictures when my pro mist arrives and i set it all up. I re-arranged everything today.

For what it's worth, Pro-Mist is a trademark of Bob Pound's and we sell different equipment.
