I think in nature they cruise around alot and explore to find a new place to bask. I would chaulk it up to boredom, nothing to worry about. I bet if you take him out and give him a change in scenery or different enclosure to explore it will help cure the boredom and satisfy his curiousity.
    when i had beardies, they did it all the time. they'd just cruise around nosein.

    The reflection definately could be it... You may want to try a backround, but instal it on the inside of the glass. Sometimes a backround outside the glass can just enhance the reflection the Beardie sees.
