ReptiBreeze Drainage System

[MTsterfri]

Hi, I'm thinking of getting a chameleon soon, but I want to figure out how to install a drainage system on my ReptiBreeze. I have read around and found most people put their cage, tilted, in plastic storage containers. The thing no one ever says is how they keep the cage elevated and out of the water. Other cheap ideas would work as well.

I used flower pots on a rack with a tub to catch excess water underneath

what do you do about the bottom of the cage?

 

[jamest0o0]

What do you mean? Like the floor panel? I just remove that and placed the cage on a flower pot.

Does the flower pot drip into the tubs underneath? If your chameleon fell or climbs to the bottom would it drown?

Yeah it has holes at the bottom for water to drain into the tubs underneath.

I have my males on two 48" wide racks, holes drilled through the bottom of the enclosures to drain into tubs underneath. When I had just one chameleon, I got a cheap card table from walmart and did the same thing - holes drilled down into the enclosure bottom/table to drain into the tub underneath.

I have mine on a rack similar to the first pictures and put the drainage tub on the shelf right below the enclosure. I drilled several small holes into the bottom panel of the cage and the water drips through.

I recently moved my cage into the room in our basement that has a cement floor and a drainage pipe. I know, depending on where you live, you may not have that but it has made the whole needing a drainage spot situation ten times easier.
In the mean time, all these other suggests are really good

Cage with bottom removed and placed on starage rack with tub on the lower rack. I also put some wire netting under the cage to prevent Argo from escaping.
