Question: how do people out there deal with excess water from the dripper? Pet stores sell screen cages with PVC floors and drip bottles as if that's all you need. But where does the water go?



I read caresheets at websites of reputable breeders, and they talk about letting the dripper drip into a potted plant to catch excess water. But the amount of dripping water needed by an adult panther will--in just a few days--overflow the plant pot, cover the floor of an aluminum screen cage, and end up all over my hardwood apartment floor. I have tried placing the dripper so that water drips across some leaves and into a plastic container, but all the chameleon has to do is climb across those branches and the water is now dripping onto the cage floor and soon onto the hardwood floors.



Any ideas? I'm looking for an "attractive" answer since my wife and I live in a small apartment and I can't hide the cage in a garage.
