My snake has a problem with his tail, HELP

In the pictures, where you're holding him, is that the bruised area up by your fingers? I'd be concerned about that as well. Good luck and keep us updated.

I would be more concerned about this area further up. You said it was eating, but has it defecated since the injury? Is the back part of its body moving normally? I know it can be hard to find a herp vet, but I it would be a good idea to have this snake checked by a vet.

His tail is definitely dead.
But the bruising around his midsection looks quite serious as well. It's good that he's eating, but make sure he's passing what he's eaten, and he's going to have to have that tail stump removed. I don't think there is any way around some kind of professional care at this point. There could be internal damage at the middle. Poor guy, he really had a doozy of a time. Best wishes!
