When you measure him, you have to do the straight carapace length. Put piece of paper on the floor , up to the skirting, put tort on paper and push him gently upto the skirting , head first. Then mark the paper at the tail end, where his shell ends, then take him off and draw a line from the edge of the paper( that was against the skirting) to the mark on the paper, measure this line. I hope this isn't too complicated. This will give you the straight carapace length.
