Took the first step - stands for the Water Drainage

[KramersChameleons]

OK I have the stands and the buckets underneeth, what size holes to drill to drain the bottom catch box. The ReptiBreeze have square inch raised compartments for holding water. Should I drill a hole in each one? And how big diameter" I am tired of it flooding, my food is dying. Thanks!

Not totally sure what you mean, but drainage holes are up to you. Just do whatever's necessary to get the water out of the cage. My old cage had tons of tiny holes drilled over the bottom panel, can pretty much do it however you like.

I'm with james0o0, not sure what you mean (pics would help) but what I would do is see if there is place the water pools to the most. and drill a hole or holes there. Some people from what I read slightly raise one side of the enclosure to create a slope for drainage. Then you can control where you want to put the drain holes.

I can also imagine if changing the level of the enclosure is not an option, and if you have enough room on the lower base, creating a false floor that is angled can to the same thing. Get creative!

There is a sticky I believe on this topic (drainage) on the forum and I know it's been discussed a lot.
