Possible tail rot

[Bert4Life]

Hello! The above photo is a month of betadine solution. Ive seen many posts and pictures but cant tell if this is progressive tail rot or it healing? Part of me wants to say that white nub is calus forming as a new end of her tail and the tail rot is about to fall off, the rest of me wants to say its progressing and i should have it chopped soon as i can. Any and all insight is greatly appreciated, pics below are from a month ago

Hello,

You can apply the honey at night, when she is going to bed. Just be sure that there aren't
any insects in her tank that would be attracted to it.
The betadine can be diluted down until it looks like very weak tea so go ahead & use more
water to dilute it down.

Oh yeah, not a single bug enters her tank and she refuses to sleep anywhere that isnt ontop of me. Ill be sure to get some of that honey. Thank you so much Tracie

Be sure to post pictures of her tail after she sheds so we can see more clearly what it looks like.

Hello,

You are very welcome! Good to hear that no bugs are in or near her tank overnight. I am sure her
tail will start to look better soon. Keep us posted on her!

Apologies in the delay of a follow up, shes been shedding and just now stopped shedding by her tail. At first i was thinking that little bulb would be the new part of the end of her tail and the dead part would break off but it doesnt seem likely at this point. will be taking her to get it snipped as soon as i can. Thanks all for the inputs

I agree that's the best thing for it now. It should be an easy little surgery, please post an update after !

Hello,

Oh I agree also, it does need to be snipped off. The surgery wont be bad at all, & luckily it hasn't
progressed too much. Let us know how that goes!
