It's rather unusual for a snake to be "wagging their tails" too, unless it's a member of a species that does caudal luring (like copperheads or green tree pythons do).
I sure hope he's OK...bummer that he got chilled & hasn't eaten in a while too.
I hope he just pulled a muscle and hopefully he will be okay soon. Crowley does waggle his tail when he really likes massages but today's waggle seemed a lot faster and more like he was waving his tail around to possibly be able to push or latch on something. He's in his hide now and looks comfy.
