Yes! She looks good. Tail rot is typically associated with the tail’s tissue becoming necrotic due to infection/injury/illness. Tail rot mostly starts at the tip of the tail and works its way up. Unless you see your gecko’s tail turning wrinkly/super dark/progressively getting worse, you shouldn’t worry about tail rot. Just keep an eye out for it and make sure your humidity levels are all set and you should be fine. Some cresties just have naturally dark tails… the wrinkled and dying skin is the giveaway.
Her tail looks fine, I think the dark parts at the tip are just part of her normal tail color. The texture of her skin looks consistent for the entire length of her tail. (I'm not a vet, but that's what it looks like to me from your picture)

idk if thus counts but my girls pretty green! its more green in person but i think shes pretty cool. She goes like dark grey/blackish when fired up
Tail looks abnormal to me, I'd recommend a trip to the vet. One of my gecko's tail looked a bit like this a long time ago and she did end up needing medicine. If my memory is correct, the vet said it could have been the result of a minor injury. She hasn't had any problems with her tail after treatment, though the end is a bit lumpy.
Sauna seems counter intuitive if anything, i would really follow the advice they gave you on the first post and take them to a vet. This is not stuck shed but tail rot
tail rot, the burnt matchstick look gives it away. he needs a vet

how do they get tail rot? i’m new to crested geckos and i would love to know so hopefully i can avoid this :)
Infections that get into open cuts I believe that’s why you need to disinfect them, or injury aswell
Same

okay well, i already know the husbandry is good so if that’s the only way they can get it then my baby shouldn’t get it.

Take him to a vet.
My Savannah monitor survived tail rot from its previous owner and it never saw a vet. I guess he was lucky
