Took my daughter with me to the sand pits to sight in my rifle, and she caught 3 of these guys. They were everywhere

Did they squirt blood from eyes?

To my knowledge, yes they eat ants, we have several ant colonies in the yard where we take them to feed.
I believe they can squirt blood from their eyes, I've handled a lot of these and never seen them do it however. Probably a last resort

These guys seem quite social with each other. I see them huddled together or climbing ontop of each other quite often

The lizards have been released back into the wild. After further research I found that they are specially adapted to eating ants. They can be kept in captivity and fed other insects but require a formic acid supplement to do so and that's not something we felt like dealing with
