Most likley rabies. I would get him put down before he causes any more trouble.

No, seriously. I would bet he is scared.

Nothing at all. many young leos will nip or at least open their mouth and gape. Most baby leos will scream when you bother them or mist them (this is often called the "alien scream" due to the high pitch "out-of-this-world" sound they make). They are very sckitterish when little but calm down with age. minimize handling until he/she is eating quite well and can handle the stress. Inrease the handling as he/she matures. Good luck with them and keep the moist box damp.
