Weird Tegu Behavior

Hey guys has any of your tegus been doing this as of late?

So I took a video of his actions because I felt it would better convey over his strange behavior than a couple of pictures.

My male tegu keeps on swinging his tail around (slowly), and does these strange circular patterns on the ground. I thought at first that he was going to poo on my carpet, but after a while of this prolong actions im starting to become a bit confused. . .

Looks like a scenting/marking behavior. Gotta let the ladies know he was there
