Sounds good as long as the heat lamp does not make it to hot.

I know that what i am proposing to you is totally different then what oyu are doing now but I am just trying ot help out so that your leo will eat on a constant basis.

Here is what i suggest:
Hot/Warm Side:
UTH kept in the 88 - 90 degree range 24 hours a day. This will allow your leo to constantly have a spot to thermoregulate, and digest its food, stimulate feeding response. This is the most important husbandry aspect IMO. A hide and a moist hide should be provided here.

On the other side of the tank will be your cool side. A place for your leo to go to cool down when thermoregulating. Temps should be High 70's to low 80's. Ahide should be here.

For a leo they are nocturnal. They receive most of there heat from there bellies. This is why I suggest this method. A heat lamp may not even be needed depending on how warm or cold your house is. That i can not answer for you.
