Does this sound like a URI?

Whenever I give my beardie a bath, he will randomly puff out his throat (looks a little like a frog or a toad). It's just a few short puffing movements, say 2-3 in a row, and then he stops. He's done this in every bath, but doesn't do this outside of bathtime at all.

Is this just a reaction to all the water he's not used to, or what? His previous owner soaked him in a little tupperware tub; I let him swim around in a bathtub. The water only goes up to his shoulder, and his head has never been submerged.

Everything else is fine - eating, pooping, viv temps, etc....

No they do that. Unless you are hearing noises as in clicking, wheezing or popping then you are fine.

When he's in the bath I've heard a few random clicks here and there when he puffs his throat like a frog, but again, never outside of the bath. Is this still ok?

Puffing simply means that he is in an uncomfortable situation and is being defensive. I believe I know the "click" sounds you describe; also perfectly normal.
