I changed the set up today with good results. When I took Alphie out and placed him in a bucket I also threw a cricket in with him...he ate it right away so he wasn't stressed too much

When I put him in the new tank I threw in a few more crickets and he ate them happily. The set up is much better for feeding. Doesn't look as good but I"m happy I did it.

For now I have the ceramic heater on top of the tank (in the wire frame). I bought an Exto Terra light bracket for it and the thing fell off the tank! I'm not happy with it, going to bring it back to the store tomorrow and try for a refund. The temp and humidity are good for now, I imagine I'm going to need to add a heat pad to a side in the winter, the room can get chilly.

Here's the set up and the little guy, finding a new spot to nestle down. Thanks for all the advice with this everyone.
