Kink

[murrindindi]

Hi again, you say you can apply a little pressure to the tail and it doesn`t bother the monitor, have you tried actually straightening the kink, if yes, does it move back in line easily? If it does, I think I would try putting a splint on it, you only need two pieces of very thin wood or semi flexible plastic on each side, kept in place with some masking tape (not too adhesive, but enough to hold it in place). My concern would be if the monitor causes more damage just by moving around the enclosure and the blood supply is interupted, it`s quite a significant portion to lose for a semi arborial species like this (you`ll never stop him trying to climb, even if you don`t put branches in there)!
I doubt very much the "break" was caused by him resting on the tail (tripoding), more likey either trapped it somewhere or possibly a tail whip?
If you`re willing to try a splint, do it before he`s warmed up, it might be a little easier.
I would not expect him to break another part simply because there was a splint in place, if the blood supply is getting through, the tail end should still be flexible.
