UTH On the side or bottom?

Post by TigerLily » Thu Dec 03, 2015 8:27 pm

I've been setting up my first crabitat and I have the UTH now, but it says it shouldn't be under the tank if the substrate level is high... It has a side mounting option, should I just do that?

Always on a side, never underneath! :) The depth of the substrate is so thick it blocks the heat and can cause the pad too overheat.
