Tegu keeps scratching everything INCLUDING ME

Hi so my adult female tegu seems to have figured out she can move things with her claws and has been following me occasionally and clawing me? What does this mean?

Not an expert but I also think this could maybe scent marking if shes coming into adult maturity......... Trying to entice a male to her.

Hope you keep her nails trimmed so they aren't sharp! I have thin slates (real slate sheets, not tiles that look like slate) on the floor of Foley's cage, to keep his nails trimmed when he walks on them. No problem with sharp claws for me :)

If you can hold him or her have someone use nail clipers and just take the tip of the nail off dulls them down pretty good
