You do make a good point, think I will take your advise and move the larger pad to the back wall of the tank today. Might even increase the temp a bit being the heat isn't being held back by the substrate. I've just been told removing them due to the adhesive can damage the heating pad.

It can be dangerous removing the UTH. Most of the time it is advised not to reuse them if you remove them. You have to be really careful not to bend the UTH because they have extremely tiny wires and coils within and these components are very fragile. If any of them break it can severely affect the output of the pad resulting in extreme over heating the inside of the enclosure and also risk of fire. Be extremely careful removing the pad without bending it.

Well I couldn't get the uth off the bottom without force so I left it and put a larger one on the back of the tank and right side. Left side of the tank still stays around 70-74F but the right side now stays around 78-85 give or take a couple degrees. So he has a side to cool off if need be. His appetite has increased a little too, few nights ago he'd eat maybe a couple crickets and/or a superworm or two. Tonight he downed a molly, 4 large crickets and 2 superworms, after the last worm he buried himself into the substrate a little deeper so, took the hint he was full. Appreciate all the help!

Be careful feeding a lot of superworms. They are basically giant meal worms and are not easy for your frog to digest because of their exoskeleton. This can cause them to become impacted which you definetly don't want. They should be given sparsely as a treat.
