Default worried about melamine temps !!!

hi i have a 100w infra red bulb mounted to the top of the inside of my snake viv, the trouble is that ive set it up today for my new royal but im worried to leave it switched on as when i feel the top of the viv its very hot to touch and worried it might be a hazard?

is it likely to get hot enough to start a fire???

I believe Melamine is fine up to 140c
