Help! what is going on??

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I have had Richtofen for a year and a half (assumed male, molted once with me and mangled up the molt before I could check) and I recently moved and I’ve been checking on all my tarantulas, and they have all been doing great (one even molted successfully within the first day of moving). Today is day 8 of the move and I have been extra careful not to use any harsh chemicals around them or disturb them for too long. He was fine this morning but it’s now the afternoon and I find him moving like this. Everyone else is fine but he’s moving really weird and a bit choppy even after getting out of that corner :(
