I was told that it wouldn't. And then when i think about it, its not that hot, would the plastic melt out side on a day when its 35 degrees celsius?

Heat cords are better, cheaper and smaller watts, won't affect your plastic container and cheap to run.

hey, only use a heat mat on a plastic tank if you have a thermostat. i used a small heat mat on the base of a plastic aquarium, and it melted the plastic slightly and burnt out the heat mat.
