It's a defensive posturing. He's getting ready for "fight or flight". Hatchlings are pretty much scared of everything until they put on some size. If I were you, I'd let him come to my hand, not bring it to him. That way, it's on his terms and he'll soon realize that your hands aren't a threat. It's worked with every tegu I've had.
