bearded dragon bulging eyes, twitching eyes, and puffing beard while basking?

I've done a lot of internet research about everything I mentioned in my question, however nothing specific came up. I have a 2yr old male bearded. He eats 5-10 dusted crickets daily, and I try to hand feed him greens. This morning, I bathed him for about 10-15mins, took him out, and he pooped all over me! Haha. It was runny and brownish/green. I then fed him crickets, and he sat on his rock under his basking lamp (it's about 10-12 inches away). Hew starting twitiching his eyes, the bulged them out for a few seconds. Then he started puffing his beard in & out. He's never done this in front of me before, and I'm a first time beardie owner. Anyone have any advice or similar experience?

    thats totally normal, bearded dragons puff out their beards to regulate their temperatures, especially if they've been taken out of their vivarium for a bath. by the way you should be feeding your beardie more veggies, if you leave some in a shallow dish in his vivarium he'll eat them himself.

    My bearded dragon does not bulge out it's eyes, but it has started drooling quite a bit lately, especially when it's being handled.

    I dont know much about lizards except to say that they can get cold pretty easy (after baths for instance) and if his excrement is a different consistency or color than usual, he's likely sick. I would take him to a vet.
