I have heard a variety of things. Some people keep it on the warm side where there heat lamp is because it keeps humidity up, but then you would pry have to fill it up more often. Some people have their food on the cold side so they also put their water over there as well. I don't think there is any harm done either way, its all up to you and how you want your design to come out.
Guess it can't to have two dishes out
I have two lamps: a UV/heat/light bulb in the hot end, and a fluorescent/low heat in the cool end which is where I have my water (half under the light, half not under the light - its a large flat bowl type thing. I put it here because the low heat keeps humidity up but it doesnt evaporate it too much. With the water in this position humidity = 85%+, without it the humidity drops to 50%
I put mine between the hot end (CHE) and my basking light so it stays warm. I don't know if they truly have a preference, but mine seem to like warmer soaks than cooler ones so I figured I go with the same for the water dish.
Same here
Warm side or both sides for me.
