Pointed tail of Black Milksnake

I have a yearling Black Milksnakeabout 90 cm. long that recently started to use his tail to poke my wrist while being handled. I'm wondering if other milksnakes do this, and if so, what's the purpose. Are Gaigeae especially known to do this?

Also, my Black Milksnake while darker than he was originally, hasn't shown any dramatic change to black. Have others had similar experience with theirs?

Thanks!
