Umbilical sticking out

Hi my ball python left the egg today but has this hanging out . Is this normal ?

It can be if they left early. It should heal on its own.

As @steelserpents stated - it should heal on its own. Put it in a suitable sized enclosure and use damp (not dripping wet) paper towel for substrate until the umbilical heals up. Congrats on the hatchling.
