My dragon has never done this before and recently he keeps knocking on the glass door and making a mess of the whole place, Any reason why?

Could be a number of things..He could want more time out of his enclosure, he's a boy :) if he's seeing things he wants to investigate, it's warmer weather (depending on where you are) he may becoming of age and he want's to find a mate....

He is a male about a year old.. It's always 30+ degree at where I am

Coming of age would be my bet, and he want's to explore. Males are more outgoing busy bodies..

So should I just let him out n explore??
Do you take him out on leash or in a safe room? I have a room that is escape proof and safe from eating anything.. I also have a zippered food tent so I can take my 2 outside in their little tents to soak up some sun and check out what's outside.

My male always runs around his tank, he just wants to get out and play. I would lay some towels on the floor or get some yoga mats so he has a few places that he can grip on the floor. Not sure if they have these where you live but there is a store called Five Below where everything is $5 and less, and they had these thin porch/picnic rugs that would have been perfect for beardies to play on.

Yeah, any kind of long mat that you can lay on the floor that they can use to grip on will work.
