Question about UTT heat Pad, please take a look...

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?

i dont think it matters, you can leave the plastic on an it still wrks fine, mine always has. you mean the undertank heat pads right? just making sure

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)
