O.K. can anyone tell me the correct way to measure the size of a snail please. I want to compare the size of the Albinos with the size of one of my dimidiatas  |

i normally use a vernier caliper but it went missing and i measure from apex to the longest part of the shell

So do you measure over the 'hump' of the shell or just in a straight line. The vernier of course would only measure in a straight line.
