Put it on moist paper towel in a deli cup, and put it back in the incubator for another day or so... the yolk sack should come off by itself.

It's all you can do for it... many times these little preemies survive. Just keep the little thing warm and on a moist paper towel. Try not to disturb it and see what happens within a few days.

Why not just leave it in its egg, in the incubator? I think that would be safer than trying to remove it to place it in a deli cup with a paper towel...unless it's already out with the yolk still attached??
My point is, don't panic and bother it because you're so worried. Just try to leave it alone. If it is meant to be, it will finish developing and survive.

Next time, if an egg springs a leak, leave it alone! Do NOT open it like you did this one. A lot of reptiles poke their heads out but have to stay in their egg for a while to absorb the rest of their yolk and nutrients. Pulling it out early can kill it. Please do NOT make this same mistake again.
