I've found that sometimes they look baggy in the throat. Probably nothing to worry about.

He might have felt a bit threatened from the camera so that is known as neck-pouch or gular extensions and retractions. "Somebody is watching me"

I agree. Probably nothing really to worry about here. I have one leo that has a baggy throat that hangs a bit more than the others. But it's probably that he felt a little threatened by the camera. When I got two of my rescues that were stressed, they ballooned their throats at me for a bit. Now they're calm as ever.
