Yes, that's part of their defensive behavior. Sometimes, there is a lot of blood. I think I posted a closeup of that down below.

I am not sure how they do that, but its dark red and a lot. Then its gone and they are back to normal in minutes. Got me.

Some species expel blood out of their cloaca, Longnose snakes do that, as an example. Best wishes
