    How long did you soak for? Have you tried veggie oil?

    My albino girl has the uncanny ability to shed complete expect for her tail tip too. What I do is keep a wet towel pressed to the area for several minutes (sometimes for than 10) then try to work it off by rubbing the towel down her tail to her tip (this is easier if someone else is holding her body while I work at her tail). Dripping some water drops directly onto the stuck shed helps too.

    Does it look black at the tip like there's restricted blood flow? I though that that was happening to my albino's tail until I realized it was one of her saddles at the end/tip of her tail that was a darker colored anyway . Maybe your girl has a black tail tip that's making it look dead/damaged? But of course won't know until the shed is off.

    Edit: didn't see the post where you said you got it off. Maybe post some new pics?
