aggresive? It's columbian definatly I'd put money on that

it'll be tamer when cold or sometimes after a meal, but otherwise extremely territorial, and has that fight or flight trait. You've got a very nice looking lil one none the less. Buy gloves, unless your looking to lose some skin lol

I'd also like to add, mine wasn't feeling well this week and was so easy early in the week to handle. But as he got better he went back to being "Lil tough guy". Yours could be doing the same. Mine scratches and squirms when picked up too. Patience is needed at that moment. It will eventually let you pick it up, but won't be all the most co-operative. Wait to see it's attitude after it has gotten it's weight back on. You might have a very rare lil one there btw
