Sudden behaviour change?

I have had the sweetest sara for about five years now. He has always been very social, great with handling, and loves coming out to say hi.
About 8 months ago, he started getting really flighty. Now, even if I try to do basic things like spraying, he will go nuts - zooming around and jumping. It's so intense that he has gotten terrible nose rub from banging into the glass. The vet provided me with antiseptic and a barrier gel, but he keeps re-injuring himself.
Any thoughts on what could cause this? There were no environmental changes when it first happened. His humidity is between 60-80, temperature is 22 (71f) with a basking light of 26 (79f) during the day. The terrarium is 2x2x3f with lots of hides, branches, and leaf cover.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Not a clue! My 19 year old gecko does bite me more than he used to, though. Sometimes they just change. Make sure not to spray directly on him. Some of my geckos don't like that.
