Does this look like tail rot?

First time mom here and I’m freaking out. I got Rhubarb almost two months ago and today I noticed that the tip of his tail looked dark. I’m attaching pictures.
I know I will have to visit a vet but I wanted personal experiences as well.

It looks like it got nipped or pinched -- some sort of injury--- start w/ some raw unpasteurized honey like Manuka-- that will kill any infection going on -- keep an eye on it -- if the tail starts to get black and moving up the tail you will need to go into the vet -- take pics of it if you haft to so you can tell if its moving up -- DO NOT leave any crickets in the tank they will go straight for the tail -- if the end dies off it should fall off but you want to make sure it does not have infection -- that honey will kill it -- here is some info on honey
