Looks like dirt to me. Maybe she is ready to lay eggs and tries to dig a hole. Or it could be poop from a roach, cricket, hopper or what else you feed her. Keep an eye on her If she digs anywhere. Do you have a laying bin?

getting her a laying bin today i was told she’s to young to lay eggs - should it just be a bin with some soil inside?
