From what point to what point should I measure a scorpion to get the right size?
Don't think my A. mauretanicus likes to be that coldfusion121 said:As far as I'm aware you measure a scorpion from the front edge of the prosoma (head) to the telson (sting). A live scorpion is not easy to measure, you can however put them in the fridge for a while to calm them down.
Maybe I skip this measurement I don't really want to handle them if I don't have tofusion121 said:A brief cooling will do nothing except make them more docile, even scorpions from extremely hot enviroments can withstand temperatures below 10C for a considerable time, which is handy for postage in the UK
