Reptibreeze bottom tray, what do you use?

[dimil]

Currently what does everybody use to catch the water, who doesn't have a drainage system for the bottom of their extra large reptibreeze which is 24" x 24?" They now sell the trays from zoomed but they're like 45 bucks...that's outrageous. I'm looking for something plastic like the lid to a square tote but I can't seem to find any square totes. TIA

Well, you could try placing 2 smaller plastic sweater boxes together (cover the join with duct tape) under the cage. The lids may not be deep enough to hold much. There is a whole thread at the top of this forum about drainage options. Also look for appliance drip pans or cement forms or mixing trays.

The pans for washing machines are good and cheap at Lowe's or home depot like $18 I think 24x30

I use a planter bottom, the circular one for my small reptibreeze cage. I know the sell large planter bottoms

we drilled holes in the bottom and let it drain into a bucket underneath. our cage is sitting on a wire self so the water goes right through.

I put paper towels directly on the bottom, and I place a paper plate on top of the paper towels directly under my ficus plants pot. The excess water from my dripper trickles down the leaves and into the soil. If it ever gets to wet it then drains into the paper plate. The paper towels are meant for easy clean up and they help soak up any extra water from my mister. I clean the cage every week and it's never to soggy.

I use one of those aluminum pand they use to cook turkeys. Its nice and deep holds alot of water and takes up just about the entire bottom of my enclosure. Cost me 1.99 at a dollar store
