Otherwise he may have outgrown his hide, or he may be old enough and comfortable enough in his enclosure to spend less time hiding and more time out in the open. Mine also spend more time out of their hides in the evenings when they're hungry, they come out to hunt.
I have a temp gun and a digital thermometer, also his hide is plenty good size as he hasn't really grown much since I got him. He also has a hide on the cool side that he won't lay under today either. This has only been happening today. Also don't think he's hungry as normally if he is he comes out at night and cruises around. Today it's during the day and he just is laying curled up either behind his bowls or I saw him curled on top of the one under the light ( I also have a uth on te warm side in addition to the light) I checked temps all seems normal.
