I also sprayed some vetericyn on her tail and will continue to monitor her. I'm not sure what else I can do besides that. The vet emailed back, but all they said was that this can be caused by pain, which I already knew, and that they might need to see her in person to figure out what's going on.
I'm so sorry to hear this is still going on. Maybe she has some sort of neurological problem- like a phantom pain, maybe from a 'birth defect' or later injury that wasn't obvious & noticeable?
Pain has always been the first thing that comes to my mind, but I wish it wasn't so hard to track down. Poor little snake!
