Size Records?

[JacenBeers]

I was just wondering what the longest Emperor Scorpion on record is if anybody knows? If not what is the biggest you have seen from the head to the tip of the telson?

I believe the longest actually on record is in the 7 inch range (uppers), though some say they have broken 8. I do not believe any of the eight inch emps were measured by pros, though they could have been and could have made that length, though they were probably wild caught if this is the case. There was recently a group of H. spiniferis that were measured at 7 3/4 at gherp. Also noted, H. swammerdami may have measured in at near 8 or slightly above as well.
