Aggresive Baby Jones Armadillo Lizard?

I was told at the petshop that they are friendly nice little lizards, and they enjoy being held. My Armadillo lizard is a baby, about 2 inches long. thats including the tail. But he is turning out to be a bad boy. I really dont know if it is a boy or not. but i have had him for almost a month now, and it hasnt shed or anything but it is becoming aggresive, he is in a ten gallon tank right now by him self, and gets PLENTY of pinhead crickets, but the last couple times i have handled him to move him and clean the tank, he has opened his mouth and hissed and yesterday he actually nipped me. He has the right temprature and is feed well, and he is in a room where the comotion is very minimal. Will he grow out of it or will he keep becoming more aggresive? someone please help. I have heard that if they bite when they are full grown they bite so hard they break their own jaw, I DONT WANT THIS, not for my sake but his. Please help! he is very , and very active if he dont know u r there
Basically all i want to know is if other jones armadillo lizards agresive? I know they all have their own personalities, but i thought and was told that they were generally sweet natured.
