I got this at the Hamburg reptiles show today and it was labeled "Texas Scorpion" but I can't find anything on a Texas scorpion anyway, how do I care for it?what is it's temperment?

It looks an awful lot like my Smeringurus Mesaensis also known as the Dune Scorpion. I don't know scorpions well enough to be sure though. I keep mine dry in a medium Kritter Keeper with about 4 inches of a mixture of about 75% excavators clay and 25% sand with a piece of cork bark. Mine is skittish and will just run to its burrow if I open the enclosure. It also is prone to fasting during which it becomes very secretive so I wouldn't be surprised if it decides to stop eating and becomes a pet hole. Hopefully someone else more knowledgeable will show up to give you a better answer.
