Hi, I don't know if your keeping them or not. If your not, your grabbing them and indeed cause their demise. Particularly rought handling like your pic expressed.

If your catching them, you may want to call your game and fish department and check of what you need to do that.
Also, you may want to research L.getula, has its going/gone thru lots of changes lately. By the old names, in your state you have three types of getula. Eastern kings, speckled kings, and black kings. The lastest revision may have made them all one.
So please respect the animals and their habitat. Return all AC to how you found it. to a point of resealing the edges.
Keep in mind, if you watch them, no harm will come to them, handling them can only cause harm, not that it will. That harm varies from irritation to death. With death being as high as 50%. I/we understand you really want to muck with these kings, but please consider, the kings do not want to be mucked with. Respest that
