No offense dude, I know we all make mistakes, but if the snake lost the tip of her tail due to neglect from you with a shed; then you need to rethink the whole breeding business. I have had snakes with stuck sheds and some that needed aggressive help to get the shed off and others who I have been more lax with and let it go for nature to do it's work, it doesn't happen in just one stuck shed. Plus, scales don't just come off and blood just doesn't stop flowing.
Shed are every day life for a snake, just the normal. Being gravid is a whole other story. Alot more that can go wrong, alot more attention needs to be paid to the snake. IMO, get your husbandry skills to a more excellent level and then consider breeding.
As far as the snake, it probably can still breed. Since it was an injury like you said, it wouldn't be genetic, but depending on how the blood flow was affected, it may have damaged the reproductive organs. Good luck.
