How about remove the log, put another pyramid in the middle and allow your bulb(s) to create the original higher temp. If your hot side was 90 and cool side 70, the middle of the enclosure should be around 80. It could be he wanted to be there, but didn't feel secure in the log.

I use T8 enclosures heated with RHP and have similar temperature gradient. I have 3 hides. My snakes typically occupy the middle and cool side.
