what are you feeding him??

the main thing when you find a lost gecko is to make sure they get hydrated first and introduce them to food slowly... dont put a whole bunch of food in there for him to eat all at once, because just like us and other animals when they get little food over a period of time their stomach shrinks and cant hold as much food as it did so if they eat too much right off the bat they will throw some or all of that food back up.

the attacking could have been from him being startled or from him thinking you were food.. i dunno its hard to say
