Pretty sure he will be fine, am new to Ts but its not like you touched him/poked him or anything, it just shook the enclosure.

I have accidentally knocked an enclosure with a moulting T in and it moulted fine. I wouldn't worry about it.

I've literally picked enclosures up off their shelves, plonked them down at my work area and opened them up to find the T was in the middle of a moult on more than one occasion, I carefully put them back and left them alone after, it's never caused an issue.

Same. Felt/feels really weird looking in and finding a spider that was moulting. Sort of like walking in on someone who's sleeping. Makes no sense, I know, but I can't help it. I'll close the lid really softly and tiptoe it back to the shelf.
