Sometimes my monitor digs up her bark peices in her cage..

I'll come home from class and the bark pieces, only in the two front corners, are all moved and you can see the bottom of the cage. I looked at him for about 30 minutes and noticed that he was clawing at his cage, so i let him out for about 2 hours. I put him back in and he didn't do it. Could this be he was trained to scratch at the cage when he wants out? Or is it something to do with the size of the cage? I have him in a 80 gallon long, i think. With the way i have the cage set up, he has ALOT of space to roam around, bask, sleep, etc.
