If it was doing it because of the ambient temp wouldn't it just go to the hot spot?

While I agree with the assessment that the ambient temps are a bit low it's not crazy low and I don't think it's the contributing factor.

6pm is the start of evening, that's when a ball python would be in hunting mode. What's your feeding schedule like? What size food are you using?
