It's more likely those are defensive strikes - since he is just a baby and he is probably scared because all he knows is there is this giant (possible) predator that hovers over his cage and moves stuff. That will probably stop once he gets more used to being around you.
Yup. Also, you shouldn't be handling him when he still has a noticeable lump from his food. He needs to digest for a day or two. Don't want your first regurge!
