Biggest, in length, is the flat rock scorpion, Hadogenes paucidens I think, well, males are. I have a couple of tiny baby females.

I think the heaviest scorp is a Heterometrus sp., they look like emperors. Or maybe its an emp? I have a female emp.

And I forget what the smallest is.

Generally yes. Not in Flat rocks though, males have much longer tails.

Heterometrus swammerdami is definately one of the biggest contenders..
Those and Pandinus imperator 'Jungle type' (iirc)
Both genus hold the heaviest scorps
smallest is those of Microtityus sp afaik

The smallest is DWA i think, my fave tiny one i can't remember its name but when i get a DWA i will have one, it looks like a tiny androctonus bicolor and always has its tail over its body in pics that i've seen.
