They really don't just drain with them closed (they are supposed to) since the drain holes are so tiny and too high up on the lid. That plus the hinged cover broke off both of them (but does still nap on and close) and they have only been opened one time. Had them installed about a year ago. Just my experience, YMMV.

I agree with you. We have them as well. Didn’t need to waste the money. We enclosed our lanai so no longer have an issue as the old frame with the drains was removed. Our birdcage still has them, the water doesn’t really drain that much and there are plenty of geckos out there.
