Questiom about heat again
If I would get a little heat pad for now zoomed
Could I put it on top of the lid on the outside of course ... not to cold yet !! Or should I still put it on the back of the tank ???

I’d still put it on the back or even the side if it’s a small one. They CAN be carefully removed and moved to other locations if done slowly and careful not to bend it. I moved my small one multiple times.

It can be placed on top. The thing is heat rises, so there will naturally be a 'hot pocket' underneath the UTH...

Can do either. Either way, it will release water vapour into the air and increase humdity...Hermie escape artist wrote:Ok thanks !!! Leave pretty wet though ???

Re: Questiom about heat again
After the initial short soak I put it in the moss pit and mist as needed.
