The thermostat probe is probably adjusting to ambient temp changes with the colder weather it would be better if you placed it directly under heat source along with digital thermometer probe to control temps better

Yeah the closer to the heat source the less the temps will fluctuate i have mine just outside of hide directly under the bulb
