A question about corn tails!

[Orianna]

I have a question. My corn is about a year and a half old, and she's always shed perfectly. However, about a year ago, the tip of her tail got really hard and about three millimeters of it fell off. I looked it up and came to the conclusion that she had shed improperly and I've paid close attention to her sheds since. However, the tip of her tail got hard again. I've tried everything from soaking her in lukewarm water and providing her humidity hides when she's in blue. The hardness is about 4 millimeters (so half a centimeter) long, and it's not discolored. It's been like this for about 6 months. She seems perfectly norma: eating and drinking like normal, curious as always. She doesn't mind when I touch her tail tip either, which I do when I try to rub a moist towel against it to see if any skin will come off.

I guess my long rant is this: are corn tails supposed to be like this or is it old skin yet again? I haven't been too concerned since she's acting perfectly normal and there's no discoloration on her tail tip, which I've heard is a sign of restricted blood flow. Anyway, thanks so much!

Her are some photos of her tail tip:


And her last shed, which looks whole to me. It's a little ripped at the end because it was stuck to the side of her tank:

If there is stuck shed u should be able to feel it. Being a bit thicker and coarser texture than the rest of the body. Right After soaking in water and some shed ease stuff I try to help get stuck shed off if there is any. Good luck

It looks fine to me. I have some corns (and ball pythons) who's tail tips can get a little pointy. As long as it's not discolored and she still sheds fine, it shouldn't be a problem.

Sometimes I feel that corn breeding is difficul t and requires certain circumstances, I hope to find a solution

It looks like it might have some dead tissue there, and it's not uncommon for corns to get that if they get a bit of stuck shed on the tips of their tails. I try to make a habit of checking for and removing retained shed on tail tips when my corns shed, so that it won't happen. I have snipped off little bumps like that, and they do heal fine and look better after amputating the dead stuff.
