Well, I’m no lizard psychologist, but here are a few reasons that came to my mind.

He was underfed, or had not been fed recently.
He had not been handled, and became defensive towards the object closing in on him.
He had been stressed a little while ago, and your hand pushed him over the edge.

There’s my 3 cents.
