Hello, they do have hard tips, or do you mean more than just the very tip?
If so, it could be that she has had some shed retained in the past and the end of the tail has died and will eventually drop off. |

| retained shed should be fairly obvious, if it's been going on for a while the tip could turn necrotic (die) and go black before eventually dropping off, usually in a shed.... |
