Edit; How it's behaving is not normal.
I'm using a digital exo terra thermo/hygro meter. Sometimes temps do seem to spike up to 84F during the day but drop to 82.5F ish .At night they never seem to drop below 77F. My digital meter has a memory function that allows me to reset it every day/night to measure the highest and lowest temps during that day's readings.

About the eyes squinting, he only did it with one of his eyes while he was sitting there. Another thing I just remembered was that after I poked him when I found him in that position, he started doing this "yawning" movements, opening and closing his mouth. Kinda like when they eat some eco earth.
