Drooled in sleep?

Hey guys...you've all been so helpful to me in the past. Was wondering if anyone could shed some light on this for me, as I'm not seeing too much about it anywhere else.

I came home from work tonight and checked on Zeus seeing that he was just falling asleep (his light timer probably went off about 15 minutes prior). When I looked closer I saw he was definitely asleep but he had some drool coming out of his mouth! Some of it even dropped down onto his log that he likes to sleep on! Now I've seen him get a tad wet around the mouth before, nothing extreme or anything. And it wasn't even a lot of drool, just a few drops that fell down.
But otherwise he has been perfectly fine!
I've read some things about respiratory infections but he has no other symptoms and is completely normal otherwise.
Am I just overreacting? Do beardies sometimes actually drool in their sleep like people do?? I was so worried I turned his lights back on to keep an eye on him..
Thanks for reading this you guys, hope someone else out there has had this happen too

Never noticed it with any of my animals. But if your dragon is acting fine and doesn't appear ill I wouldn't be horribly concerned. Just something to monitor for awhile.
No baths prior to bedtime?

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
