[crypticdragons]

Dubia produce an egg sack that they expel and than they reabsorb it into themselves into a seperate chamber in their body where they incubate the eggs until they are prepared to hatch.

 

[Twobeardieguy]

Females lay an egg sack, they then pull this sack back into themselves to incubate ovoviviparity.
Gestation is about one month (28 days).
The babies hatch inside the female. Between 20 and 40 live young, each about 2 mm long, are produced in each clutch.

No worries. It's cool, just odd looking. At first glance it looks like you are watching a bug poop itself. Yuck!
