UPDATE: I placed her on a damp towel and let her be, it fell off and she is doing perfect! I am summing it up to the umbilical cord! Thank you all for helping me through my freak out!
For now I have put her on a clean damp paper towel and have her in her temporary home. She is very active and has yet to scream at me
@erie-herps Pretty sure you work with leopard geckos.
I have no clue what this could be but it doesn’t look good and i wouldn’t be surprised if euthanasia was the best option
So far what I’m reading is it could be the umbilical cord and yolk sac still attached. I’m praying that this is what it is
Going to tag @chesterhf & @armiyana for you as well.
Oh i hope that’s the case 
.I thought it looked like it was born with its insides hanging out but after looking at pictures it could be umbilical cord.
Thank you! You all are so helpful!! Really I appreciate all of you
As for what to do, for now keep it isolated and on clean, damp paper towel.
Me too! She’s my very first hatchling so i definitely freaked when I saw it, did a butt ton of reading and I’m finding “in the extremely rare event the leopard gecko is born with its umbilical cord attached” and I’m like it’s my first one how ‘th did it happen to me
SOS for this sweet little baby!
That would have freaked me out too, it looks almost exactly like when my crestie male Albert had a hemipenal prolapse - glad it fell off on it’s own, googling photos of umbilical cords on leos, it definitely seems like that was what it was
So do you think it will dry up and fall off then?
The update on top says it already has thankfully, otherwise i would’ve probably recommended giving it a day or two, and then taking it to a vet if it hadn’t resolved in case it wasn’t an umbilical, cause it really does look like something that should not be on the outside of the body 
- i have more experience with cresties though, and ive only heard of very few cases on them still having an egg sac, and mostly on babies that died before they hatched, seems to be more common in leos from what ive read, though still not very common
I am such a ditz! I need to read more thoroughly before I summon and question help!
But thanks so much anyway! 
Awwwww. Glad the little tyke is ok!
No worries, you summoned help before it fell off and I was still freaking out
Thank you! Again I am surely glad everything is ok!
Omg sorry I’ve been out at a reptile show and missed all of this. @_@
The baby should be fine. I see the update about it falling off. That is quite a large and scary looking bit of cord/yolk for a first time hatching…and even then, I’ve only had this happen once for me while breeding Leos.
Keep them on clean damp paper towel for another day or so to give the ‘belly button’ a bit more time to heal over. It won’t be as irritating on them. After that they should be good to go!
You rock! Thank you
