Just got this guy the other day. He is in bin i bought from walmart for $5 that i put holes in. I keep him on the fish tank because it gives off heat for him and helps with humidity..
My new scorpion. I'm new to these guys.

sounds like he may have gotten a red claw by mistake. They are very similar except for their demeanor.
Emoroers are really easy just keep them damp and fed and you will do fine with it. the black light should only be used on occasion because it is said to irritate them in a similar way that sun burn irritates us.
Scorpions naturally burrow to escape heat so id move your tub off the fish tank and add a small heat mat to one side of the enclosure.
That is a really nice set up. If you don't mind my suggesting though, you might want to increase the depth of the substrate to about an inch below the hide, or reduce the height of the hide. Bugs like very secure and snug hiding places. The tighter the fit the better.
ya my scorp has tons of hiding places, yet burrows under the shale slabs, even though he has moss piles, a bark tube i sliped from a branch. and plenty of leaf litter. also to the comment about a mean emp, it might have been an asian forest, they look the same, but the asian forest is slightly thinner and a few other slight differences, but much more aggressive...
Wow Walmart and also thats cool i want to get a Emperor they are bigger but really big babies compared to like a Bark Scorpion..like to see updates!

are you sure it wasnt a Red Claw like snake said? Emperors are pretty tame but there are a few Emperors that are aggressive
