It means they are trying to scare you. They are in a new placed and very scared, they are doing it as a defense right now. It should go away after they have time to settle in. I would suggest not holding them for a few days. Also I noticed you said you got 2, are they being house together or separate?
Most times it is just for show and don't actually bite, don't think I have ever heard of anyone getting bite out of aggression but not saying it can't happen, just not likely. I would give them a few days to a week to settle in.
While it is ok to house them together be careful, even as babies they can still turn on each other and cause harm to each other. There are some that can live together with no problems but I feel it is better to air on the side of caution and not have them together. Some tolerate living together but are happier if they do not have to share their home as they are solitary animals.

Hi, they are most likely going through relocation stress. It can happen when they are in a new environment, whether it be new owners or a new viv or a new room in your house. It can last anywhere from a couple of days to a couple of weeks. It really is different for each dragon.
Your setup is important for them to feel comfy too. The size of your viv, substrate, UV light and temps are key to making them feel good and thrive in captivity. I'll provide a link to our basic caresheet. Give it a read and let us know if you have any questions.
I'm also providing a link to our article on housing multiple dragons together. Sandra pointed out the disadvantages to this. I too tend to be cautious and would not risk anything happen. We have seen babies bite the tails off of other babies.
