Can you get a picture of her, both top and underside would be helpful.
Has she laid any eggs recently? Has she been eating and pooping normally? What type of substrate did you have her on?

You should get her to a vet ASAP. She could be egg bound, which is life threatening. If her tail is only as big around as a pencil that is seriously bad, especially if she is gravid (that would mean that she is extremely underweight, making it much more likely that she is egg bound if she is, in fact, gravid). You need to monitor her food intake and defecation closely, so that you can report those to the vet as well in case of impaction or other issues. It doesn't sound like she is eating well at all if her tail is so thin (it should be nice and fat--more like a highlighter than a pencil).
