A little aggressive today, need to worry?

So I pulled Amani out early this AM and held him again, let him stroll around the house. No issues at all this handling nor for a week of ownership with aggressiveness what so ever. This evening I went back in to switch his hides around (concerned about him getting heat from his hotspot) and I did this while he was out and about, not resting in his hide. He took several strikes at me and actually was coming after me. His aggressiveness bothered me today and Im trying not to take it personal but his temperament up to tonight has been phenomenal (especially for his age).

I always go in slow and allow him to smell me so he knows its me. Im extremely gentle yet confident with him. Did I catch him at a time where hes hungry or looking for food? Did I just catch him at a bad time? Im just a bit overwhelmed with how aggressive he was because hes been so good since weve had him.
