Heterometrus Spinifer?

[Russ Thomas]

If I recall properly the largest scorpion measured to date was a Heterometrus , though I am not certain if it was a H.Spinifer or H.swammerdammi (forgive the spellings please !),but as I recall the measurement was 29.7cm ! can anybody possibly correct or elaborate on this please ?

It is very pleasing to see how much nicer and better,if not happier ,your specimin looks after some good care and attention !Nice one

Regards ,

Russ

Hi Russ
no scorpion gets to 30cm!!
i think it was more like 19.7cm

my largest H.swamm is maybe 16-17cm but its CB
maybe some wild caught monsters get to 20+cm, but 30 is a bit much...

would be good to get rid of feral cat infestations
