That doesn't look too excessive to me. If he was outside in the heat this could be normal, but he may also have eaten something or chewed something that irritated his mouth. Take a look in his mouth, check his gums, his tongue and underneath to see if you can see any injuries and/or foreign material. If the drooling continues without a known cause, I recommend getting him in to your vet to try and find out why he is doing this.
