I keep a towel under my baby chams screen enclosure. And it is constantly soaked even tho i change it everyday! Does anyone have any suggestions on keeping the water in the cage or ezr clean up?

peri I pm'd you. Your cage is kinda small but if you can find a small cookie sheet to fit, it can work as a tray. My cage is much larger so I have a cookie sheet I use or a shallow tupperware to catch the water. Something your young cham could crawl out of if he fell in.
 
I'm not too sure of your setup, but drainage sounds like it is in order.
a drainage tray or just some holes to lead to a bucket will work for all that water.

yes i agree drilling some small holes in the bottom of the plastic could get it to drain into a cookie sheet or even a tuff foil bbq pan from the store... i guess depending on how much the water builds up

Set the cage up on a plastic storage box, cement mixing tray or some other plastic container from a hardware store. Or, get a waterproof tarp, cut it up and fold the edges around the cage sides to make a soft tray for the cage to sit in...you can set the cage frame up on some plastic bottle lids so it sits slightly above the water. It is a temp cage, right?
 
great suggestions everyone thanx! I wasn't able to find a tray yet today but i am going to mess around with it more this week and i will take a picture to post of my set up. I'm thinking i will try drilling holes in the bottom that will drain to a tray underneath and have the cage raised enough to drain into it. and to answer someones q yes it is a temporary cage for a baby the dimensions actually are 20" by 12" by 18" and i haven't yet looked in to when it will be time to move up. Tanzy is great at hunting down the crickets in this size of space;).
