UTH Side or bottom?

[SamuraiZr0]

whic is better? just a simple poll

side ?

bottom?

[Stewart_Reptiles]

Bottom, to provide belly heat, it would also be more efficient that way to provide proper temps. (less heat loss)

[waltah!]

I think it also depends on the enclosure. My racks have back heat and work great in the room they are in. I always keep the room between 75-80F. I makes for a great heat gradiant. Many enclosure will work better with belly heat, though.

I thought so bnut the manufacturer said to put it on the side.. Thanks for the clarification...

Since heat rises, it has never made much sense to me to put it on the back of an enclosure.

I only use belly heat. Back heat just doesn't make sense to me.

Bottom heat. It helps in the prey digestion.
