My setup and drainage (and of course my female veiled)

[booshified]

Here is a picture of my cage and crude drainage system. I just used a plastic storage container. The back is cut to be flat. The front provides just enough of a lip to catch the water (the smaller this lip the better because of the lower door for cleaning).

I then put a small whole in the front middle.

The scraps I used to prop the cage up in the back a little so it would drain to the front.

Note: The container does not hold the entire cage. Just the front half or so. This is all that is needed as long as the cage is tilted.

Nothing fancy. Just a cheap and easy conversion for the standard screen cages.

Also of note: I am going to be putting the cage on something higher soon. Also I will be either getting a new fixture or maybe just using foil to direct the UVB into the cage.

And of course I gotta show you my girl. Got her one week ago from Blue Beast at the Annaheim show. They said she was about 3.5 months at the time.

had no problems in the 3 days i have used it. as long as the cage is tilted slightly it should be fine. i also have my dripper set up so that is is near he front.
