I'm sorry to say that is in all probability a very bad idea.

What if he decides to dig? does he come into contact with the heat pad running full on at (if its flexwatt) 105 f and get burned? Yes, yes he does.

What kind of substrate do you use that this isn't going to happen?

On another point that might help you you mentioned moving his house about and now he stays on one side?

Are both the hides identicle? If you post pics of your setup temps etc in another thread we might be able to help you get him back to thermoregulating.
