yes its probably agressive if its going on a "food strike" and will prabably oppen its mouth when you pic it up...
so this is what you do.

Get a Vitamin A sup. and a Calcium Vit D3 sup. and mix it into a paste with repti aid sup. with water and put it in his mouth,
He’ll get use to this and than will start doing the same this with insects and stuff.
Good Luck!

To add to what Reptilefreak23 said, so you won’t get bit, use a pipette or something and squirt it into its mouth if you can. And of course you have to put them in the water sa soon as you get the food in their mouth, otherwise they’ll probably spit it up.
