Hello, /an/
I hope I'm on the right board to ask this question: my friend bought 2 egyptian predatory beetles, 7W heater pad and 300 X 195 X 205 mm plastic box (exoterra material, box cost 10euros), he told me that beetles can resist temperature between +10 and +32 Celsius degrees, but during winter in his home temperature can get down to +9 Celsius degrees, so he is wondering can such plastic box handle the heat (that it wouldn't melt or create heat which would harm the beetles), if it cannot handle the heat or the heat would harm the beetles, is there any way to reduce it like putting some material between the pad and the box and which material?
Thanks in advance for comments

I'd recommend a 30 or 40W halogen lamp instead. It's a better way of heating and the beetles like basking under the heatspot.
