Welcome to BTS.net!
Drooling or any sort of discharge is unusual - is there any discharge from his eyes or nostrils? How long has this been going on? How long have you had him?
It is odd - have a look at this thread (respiratory infection section) and see if any of it fits what you're seeing:

I've seen a small amount of 'drool' when they are about to eat live food or something, but not every time I handle them.

A couple of my skinks (and I know other people get this) drool after drinking if you bother them.

When Joey's been out and his tongue has been going quite a bit, he gets a "gob" of saliva bubbles in the corner of his mouth. I usually just wipe it off, but wonder if it would turn into "drool" if I didn't....
We're probably not at all talking about the same thing, but thought I'd mention it.

I too have seen this as a pain/stress response.
