>>I talked to my vet, and she says it is nothing to worry about. She too has seen these cases, and the darker end of the tail means he suffered from some sort of trauma. She says it cannot be serious because he can coil the portion of the tail past the kink which means bloodflow is still occuring and the nerves are still active.

>>THANKS EVERYONE!!

Based on how it looks and the discoloration, I'd agree with your vet, looks like trauma. This type of injury is common when keepers accidently close their tail in the cage door which is what I suspect happened.
