I would suggest that if possible, keep her in the small tank until she's feeding well. What's the problem with the heating?

Are you using a heatmat?
Is it in contact with the plastic tank?
Does it have a thermostat?
Are you measuring the temp at the substrate level with a digital thermometer?

You could tape it to the bottom of the tank or put some cardboard underneath it to raise it up to the bottom of the tank.

i've no idea! it means you can't cover it to prevent the rep coming in direct contact, and it doesn't provide a hot hide either........
