By your description, your gecko may be stressed or angry. Confirm proper environmental parameters, turn down the light intensity if possible and monitor him/her. If the behavior persists, consider an exam with your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating reptiles to diagnose illness or injury. Other potential causes include neurological disorder, viral infection, MBD or other nutritional deficiency and constipation/obstruction.
