Looks like a worm stuck on the sidewalk after a rainy day. I've never seen him do this before, I'm sure it's nothing to be concerned about, just don't know about potential tail wagging.

Chondros are known for using Caudal Luring ie;tail wagging to bring create interest in a potential prey item.

caudal luring and it sounds like it's working. It's supposed to look like a worm. By doing this, your snake is hoping that a hungry bird or other small animal will come along and investigate. When it does, the snake has an easy meal. Cool huh?
There are a few other snakes that do this as well.
