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.

my armadillo lizard doesnt put his tail in his mouth as a defense he just runs around is it becaues he is smal

he is young small and shy

Armadillo Lizard question?

My son has a pet Armadillo Lizard, and he wants to get another lizard to live in the same habitat, but it has been a task trying to find another one of these Armadillo Lizard’s locally. What other lizard can he get that will get along with his current pet?

Thanks
I have tried, but since these lizards one give birth to one at a time( and not in an egg, how many reptiles do that?) it is hard to find one or someone that is willing to part with one.
Any suggestion on where i can find another Armadillo Lizard
