    On it, or under it? Many people put the UTH under the water container to help keep humidity high or to keep it in the proper humidity range.

    Pad and cord should remain on the outside of the tank,place it where you like,as Long as u have a hot side and a cool side and decent humidity, you will be fine

    also,where I come from,elec and water do not mix,just a piece of advice.

    Re: Question about UTH

    You should keep the heat pad outside of the enclosure, just in case. Best to keep electrical stuff outside of the cage whenever possible.
