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.

Can Jones Armadillo Lizards live off of waxworms?

I got a Jones Armadillo Lizard about a week and a half ago. He’s just now starting to warm up to me and move around his tank, but I can’t seem to get him to eat anything other than wax worms. I’d love to get him eating some crickets, do they tend to like crickets or is mine just picky? Also, I hear they do better in social groups, is this true? He (im guessing its a boy) lives in a 10 gallon tank, but if I get two will a 20 gallon long tank do? Thanks!

How often should I feed my lizard…??

A friend gave me this gorgeous little lizard but now I’m stuck and don’t know how often to feed it…He is about 7in long including his tail and a few stripes…I thought he was a Armadillo Lizard but after looking at pictures on-line I realize that he is not…he is very friendly with me as long as I pet him underneath his mouth…My real question is how often should I feed him…and what else besides crickets should he eat?? Can I feed him lettuce?? Worms??

My Mom has a Grub infestation in her back yard and I want to save her money on Wax Worms, Meal Worms, and Super Worms and Crickets.
They are bigger than Wax Worms but smaller than Supers
