Don't worry about it
My Vitkin Dragon (mix between a bearded and Rankin dragon) used to do that, but it doesn't necessarily mean he's going to bite you. In some cases, its because he wants to be the dominant one, if you haven't seen any waving or submissive behaviour, that could be the problem.
The best way to treat this is to hold him every day for long periods of time, and not to show any fear, as they can sense that as being submissive and therefore, they will try to be the more dominant one.
Do not be scared of the Beardie, as once they know their place, they can be very cuddly and cute.
Just make sure you hold him regularly, hand feed him (this also shows that you are the dominant as YOU are giving HIM the food) and also, sometimes beardies will open their mouths because they are too hot, so they are essentially panting.
