To all of you out there that have DIY cages, what do you guys use for drip trays? Is there somebody out there that sells them that fit the jumbo cage(2x2x4)? Any tips or info will be appreciated.

If your going for a sleek look I would second that Bills universal drainage system would be the best option.
If looks aren't the focus there are a number of ways.

I'm kinda OCD... It will have to be a nice fit. Bill says his large drainage trays fit the DIY cages. I'm probably going that route as I wanted some dragon ledges anyway. He also told me that the repti-breeze substrate trays fit nicely in the DIY cages. I just can't see how that flimsy white PVC panel will cut it. No lip or anything to hold water in before it can go down into a drainage tray.

A couple of fixes for this...you can run a bead of silicone around the edge of the PVC panel to keep the water on it. Also, you can put weight in the center of the panel so it sags slightly. Then put your drain hole at the bottom of the sag. Some people put a permanent sag in the panel by heating it up from underneath and putting a weight on the top. As the panel warms up it sags.

Heheh, I have my dripper (which is literally a cleaned out coke bottle with a hole in it) go directly into my girls laying bin. Keeps her sand moist and saves me the trouble of having to make a drainage system
