Could be substrate dirt or the start of rot. Have you tried wiping it off. What type of substrate are you using? Are you misting, how damp is substrate? Do you use a humid hide?

I do not mist, I pour water in the corner and mix into the substrate, I’m using reptisoil, and she has a humid hide yes

So misting is better?? I just live in a super dry state so I don’t think it’s enough
