The children decided to sneak in the room and play with her while I was sleeping. Regretfully they woke up before I did..

Well the oldest decided he was going to pick her up with her feeding tongs, which are a pair of scissor like medical clamps.

he tail was badly injured and it practically sheered off part of it. I cleanded out her enclosure and put papertowels down, put neosporine on it after a short bath to try to clean it a little... it looks like the tail itself is a total loss, though it seems to be far enough down not to be a crippling injury. I'll post pics here in a minute.
