Just got one of those UTT heaters. I don't want to stick it to the bottom just incase I ever want to move stuff around and plus for easy cleaning. Should I still remove the protective plastic or is it safe to leave it on and still have the pad pluged in?

Muhahaha

Yes, I have the Exo Terra Heatwave Terrarium Substrate Heater 11"X10 1/2" for my 33L x 15W x 15H Rubbermaid Tub. I'm just thinking in turms of cleaning it, I think it would be much easier with out having to worry about that pad stuck on it

You can leave the sticker cover on and they work just fine. I used duct tape to hold some of my heaters in place, because those stickers make it impossible to re-use the heaters later. Good luck!

for my iguana i put one inbetween two sheets of plexiglass, screwed the plexi to the shelf and covered the shelf with reptile terrarium cloth. I should of done the same to my pacman's heater, i stuck it to the bottem of the aquarium :( Right now im wondering is human heating pads are better? (the ones that dont turn off after 30 mins of use for safety reasons)
