Substrate tray

[Masked Gecko]

Here is a little something I've been working on to expand the space a cham can utilize on the Zoo Meds small Reptibreeze.

Egg crate with screen for drainage.

Drain valve.

You can make slick stand offs like these to raise your egg crate of the bottom a couple inches.

Looks cool! What did you use to glue it together? What material is it made out of?

I raised it but barely over an inch since it's only 6inches tall.

It's made from PVC boards. I used 100% silicone and it was sturdy enough to hold water but I might add some extra supports to hold it together even better.

I like it! Maybe you could score a small rectangular piece to fold and glue one in each corner for more support. Does the cage fit on top of the tray, or sit on top of the substrate?

That's a great Idea. The cage sits on top of the tray, but I didn't notice that the front bottom door of the enclosures are raised a bit so there is a small gap in the rom front that I will have to fix.

I look forward to seeing it all set up. I like watching the DIY threads and seeing the creative ideas people come up with.

Well done masked gecko, looks great, now if only you mass produced and shipped to the uk. Cham newbie here (though happy to say Alfie, my 12 weeks old panther Cham, is settling in nicely). We can get reptibreeze Cham enclosures here in all sizes in the UK, but I can't find anyone here that sells the reptibreeze substrate tray. I'm waiting to hear back from a couple of US based reptiles shops (stores as you guys say) about shipping to the UK but so far nothing. Anyone in UK know anywhere to get a substrate tray please?

Oh well, got my refund from LLLReptile and then went on eBay to buy the tray and it's been sold. Ho hum...
