Ceramic Heat Emitter

If I placed a 150W CHE attached to a lamp dome (regulated by a thermostat) on the mesh lid of an Exo Terra Terrarium, would the lid melt? Do I need a bracket/stand?

If the mesh is metal, it should be fine.

It's made of stainless steel. Thanks.

You will be fine, very many people do this. I have a 60wt che in the pic.
I recommend you do something similar to trap heat and humidity. mesh screens are bad at trapping heat and humidity.

Even if it was metal it is not recommended to place it on the top of the screen if you do that and your BP climbs up it could burn itself depending on the temps at that very spot which will be hotter than the hot spot a few inches down.
