We think that one of our females has tail rot due to improper shedding. She did not shed completely this last time and had some excess skin stay around her tail and cut off the circulation. Now the tip of her tail is this funny black/brown color and looks like it is falling off, and it also smells like a dead awful nightmare. We have moved her to her own enclosure, which was scrubbed ridiculously clean beforehand and we have been cleaning her tail and done everything we can possibly think of to keep it from getting infected. She's also gravid, btw. She has been acting normally, eating normally and her stools are normal. She's not even acting like her tail bothers her at all.
Should we take her to the vet or will she be fine? I am unsure what to do at this point, b/c it honestly seems as though it's bugging us more than it is her. (lol) Below are a couple of pictures of it from the day before yesterday. It doesn't look that bad now and the dead part seems to be attempting to fall off. .... So, yea. .... Opinions?
