You have to have it on a thermostat or dimmer. Even if it was on full blast, it wouldn't melt the plastic.

You can do a simple tub setup like mine for around $50. If you already have hides, water bowl, and a thermostat (which you should have ) then it is much cheaper.

You can find a tub at walmart for under $10 and a UTH from a pet store is usually about $15.

If you don't have a thermostat, I highly recommend you invest. Reptile Basics has some fancy ones, but there is one over at Reptile Supply which is much cheaper and gets the job done.
