Toothless can glow due to the acetylene/oxygen gas charges within his body, which he uses to gear up for a plasma blast that is so intense he has never done it before, and this glowing blue color is a sign of him preparing for this powerful blast. According to the HTTYD wiki, the glowing blue is also a result of Toothless using the copper in his body to attract and super-charge his plasma-based gas/fire with electrical impulses that run down his spine, making the spine and inside of his mouth the brightest parts of his body.
