That's pretty much the only way. Otherwise you are going to need a towel and just wipe out all the standing water at the bottom every day so it doesn't start to make a mess everywhere. Or you can just get a tray that fits into your cage and take it out and empty it every day and put it back.

forget ur cabinet its not a part of your cage.....just add a plasti-container/tub tray beneath your cage...check this link

You need more coverage. He needs to be able to hide to feel safe. You need live plants for humidity. This should have been done before getting another one. This one's life is at stake. It will not live long if you don't fix things. I know you're young and can't even drive yet but you need to do right by this animal. It's irresponsible otherwise
