My tegus hide looks just like that, packed nice and tight. If this is a new home for him its completely normal. Tegus when moved to a new home will usually burrow and hide for a week or two before coming out for food. And you said he is shedding, sometimes tegus when shedding they just like to be left alone. Also if strangers were in your room, he could be hideing from them too. Just give him some time and he will come out for food eventually. It may take a week.
