Heat pads are usually very low output and should go under the glass of an aquarium or terrarium that has substrate.

What's the distance of the bulb to the basking area? Remember, should be able to adjust it accordingly.

I dont have an above tank basking area set up yet... thats why I take my turtles out back to bask... minus the musk turtle. She never liked basking when I gave her a place to.

You do need some sort of basking area, it doesn't need to an ATBA.
