Zilla reptile heat pad on plastic roach bin will it melt?

Title says it all

If you have the pad on the bottom, make sure there is ventilation to prevent overheating. I propped mine up with some bricks so lots of air flowed below. If it’s on the side, it should be ok. I use a heat control thermostat when I need to use heat mats.

Most PLastic begins to melt at 200 degrees F.
I doubt the heat pad will get that hot.
I think most regular size ones get to a max of 115 degrees F.

should be fine. I would prop it up though like @MissSkittles said. I have one on the bottom of a tank I use for mine. I do have it sitting on a one inch high screen so that there is air flow below and so the pad is not on anything that I do not want damaged.
