Yup Roy is definitely right
that is just the belly cord of the snake.

What you should have done is 1) cut it as much as possible since I have had some (didn't notice it until the bad thing happened) drag the belly cord around and since it was on paper towel, the belly cord dried up and was stuck to the paper towel. Now that isn't much of a problem, but with the hatchling panicing, it COULD pull some of the intestines out and die because of that. 2) put it on wet paper towel, so that the belly cord doesn't dry up.

Most of the time when I find these it is mainly because the hatchling shot out of teh eggs too soon and left its belly cord handing with it.

But basically Roy has covered everything that I have said already..
