We have a Reptitherm heating pad that adheres to the outside of the tank. We haven't mounted it yet.
The instructions say you can put it on the underside or the side of the tank, and that the side is preferred.
It seems to imply that the reason the side is preferred is that any water spilled in the tank accidentally could cause a stress crack in the glass if the pad is attached to the bottom.
Opinions?
