Need some experienced breeders opinions asap

Well I had 4 eggs hatch tuesday morning, 1 albino and 3 poss hets...the 3 poss hets are 100% but the albino has what I think is part of its egg sack still hanging out. I am paranoid and would like to know if anybody has experienced this before or knows what will happen. Right now I have him housed in a small tupperware keeping him on moist paper towel keeping him warm. Do I just wait? Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated. The first picture is from yesterday around noonish and the second picture was just taken (8pm)

Thanks

Jamie

I use unwaxed (& unflavored) dental floss to tie the umbilical as close to the belly scales as poss. I take a piece of floss & make a lasso (slipknot) on ea. end. Place the lasso around the cord close to the belly & use tweezers to get it nice & tight. Cut the string & try to get the next one even closer to the belly. Cut the string again & it (the remainder of the cord) should fall off w/ in a day. If you let it go, it could develop maggots. Thanx to Kevin McCurly for the advice.....
