it has now been 6 and a half hrs and she is still wet and only takes couple steps here and there.... getting a little worried, she keeps laying on the wet sponge that is in there and i am thinking she will never dry!! or really start movin! humidity is at 65% and temp is 100.0... also a tiny piece of bloody, stringy looking stuff is still hanging out naval... is this ok?? it is a very tiny piece but it is def there... any advice would help! thank you!
 
Mine never really dried until I took them out of the bator.

The bellybutton goos is ok. Keep an eye on it to be sure it dries up.
