How big is the cage? What is it made of? What is the humidity?
Depending on the size of the cage, you may want to get a ceramic heat emitter.
Be careful though, it is real easy to cook a scorpion without meaning to.

Should have kept upping the $ until he agreed. Then just walk away with the money.

They're a tropical scorpion. They need to be kept in a fairly humid environment. As others said, they're not one of the easiest animals to look after.

They "hibernate" because they're cold blooded and can't move if they're not warm. Emps are tropical rainforest dwelling scorpions that need to be kept above 75F with high humidity.

i had one for a few years, his name was Icculus (phish fans will get the reference). he was pretty cool but eventually died after my parents inherited him when i went to college. one of the coolest things ever is that even though they are black they glow bright green under a black light, it's really cool. mine was an impulse buy too, i wanted a tarantula but they were 90 and the scorpions were only 15 so i went for that. my parents also left a baby mouse (for my snake) in his cage thinking they wouldn't hurt each other, but the scorpion killed it and ate half of it! he didn't eat for awhile after that. my dad still has his body in a jar, it got all hard and sorta mummified i think.
