I saw that my suntiger had molted a couple days ago but as shes always hiding i never got a good look till now, she seems to be missing a palp but the area where it should be isnt oozing at all- im just wondering if she will be okay till she next molts is all since ive never had a bad molt, thanks!

A missing leg...or palp, is more in line with a hangnail than it is with an injury....ts have a valve at the base of each leg (and palp) that can close off in case of injury....so a missing limb is generally of no concern.

It will grow back in subsequent molts, nothing to worry about!
