Keep the temp on whatever you had it on for the hatch. Since the cord etc is still attached I'd keep the humidity highish as well (round 65 - 70 - whatever it will sit at). The little guy has come out a bit early but should be ok. The cord will shrink and dry up over time. Might take 12 hours or so. Once it is totally dry it may still be attached to the egg a bit by a thread - at that point just snip it through with a pair of clean scissors. The umbilical cord will remain attached to his tummy for a day or three. Just leave it. It will eventually drop off all by itself.
