Horrified for an infection

Hey guys just came across this forum tonight, last night I noticed my snake had about 2 centimeters of black skin on the tip of his tail. From what I've researched it was just a build up of shedding so I soaked him in warm water and it fell off, he bled for a little bit but the bleeding then stopped. This was about 2-3 nights ago.

I took my buddy out of his cage today when I came home from work and I noticed that his entire tail, from where he poops till the tip, is a lightly discolored brown and is completely limp, and from the looks of it has absolutely no blood circulation to it.

I'm nervous for this little guy, has this happened to anyone else? I'm taking him to the vet before this week is over
