So every once and a while my dragon with flip when i try to hold him. He's still a baby. But i hold him and hes fine but sometimes he doesnt wanna be held so i leave him be. Well today i picked him up and he was fine. Then he flipped. jump onto his tank and opened his mouth at me. so i fed him and then he jumped into his tank. How to i stop this behavior?

How old is it? If he's a little fella, then he's probably just skittish. He'll grow out of most of that once he gets a little older. However, SOME of mine have still retained a little bit of that skittishness, while others are completely calm and mellow now.
 
I think your freaking out a bit, remenbar this is a very young otherwise WILD animal, that thinks your a giant predator, let him be, handle him in a very calm way allways reaching him from bellow (that way you become a "log" insted of a "bird of prey") and wait. He should setle down really nice
