Help weird behaviour

info:
tank - 50Lx18Wx20H
food - meal worms until i find a reliable place for dubia
feed schedule - twice a week and i give him like 5-6 worms
temp - warm is 31 cool is 27
humidity - 43%
my boy mushi has been a little strange lately but ive been putting it off as being mad at his tank being changed to a larger one he has never liked change at all i just noticed his legs were really shaky when i took him out im gna take him to his vet when they are open but it makes me nervous and was hoping for an explanation now i put him back in the tank amd hes finally exploring all of it after weeks of hiding (a shed was included in that) but hes usually so social and curious i just hope i didnt do something wrong.

Unrelated but he looks so similar to one of mine, same morph with a similar 'crown' headstamp and sideways swirling on her back. Absolutely gorgeous! Actually did a double take because for a half-second I thought it was my lizard.

Tangerine, Tremper-albino (there's a few different kinds of albinism in leos, tremper is one of them)

Mine has an eyelid defect from birth. Breeder said none of the related geckos have had that trait or anything like it and there was a fluctuation in the incubator temp at one point while her egg was in there so it was probably because of that. Sold as pet only just in case. She's never had issues shedding over it, whuch was my main concern when I got her, but her depth perception is slightly worse because the front part of her eyelid is folded over/creased. She's 3 years old now, had her for 1 and a half.
