I would personally just leave her alone. It looks like her body is doing what needs to be done, no infection etc.
That's exactly what I was thinking/ afraid of. If it is the case then I'm relieved that she will be fine. But it won't be like frost bite where she will have part of her body rotted and make her sick?

IMO, and I have triple checked all these photos, and I don't see anything that resembles a injury or any physical defect at all. I think this, at most, is a normal variation in the tail structure of this particular bp. If it really concerns you , have a herp vet just do a well consult and get his opinion. :) But I don't think you should even worry about this. Good luck.:)
