He may be looking for a cool spot in his cage; try giving him a moist sphagnum moss hide. A Glad container full of moss and covered with a box for added privacy and darkness helps. Also a large ceramic water bowl nested in a pan of sphagnum moss or paper towels they can coil around helps them have a lower temperature.
One of my yearling trios hanging out recently.
My pyros are mostly off feed for the winter but since it is still rather warm during the day here in the California Motherlode, they do come out and watch me do stuff in the snake room (my living room). I have turned off all the heaters on those who have not eaten for a month. The temps fall into the low sixties at night in my cabin. Soon it will get winter cold and they will all go into official brumation on the floor in my bedroom.
It is so warm here that nearly every day I catch a baby fence lizard. Once the lizards start to hibernate I will know winter is arriving.
