Do you have a picture of them? It is very difficult to give info and advice without knowing exactly what type of scorpion you are referring to.
Please go have a look at my facebook page

Tri colored scorpions is a term used to describe about 60 different scorpions within the Opistophthalmus group. These are protected by my understanding, also known as burrowing scorpions.
Opisthopthalmus species are on the TOPS list

Unless he can give you a proper name for them or a picture to be identified here i don"t think it would be a good idea to do the trade. As fredsmith said if it is an Opistophthalmus specie it would be illegal to keep.

Yes it is.
If I'm gonna be an old, lonely man, I'm gonna need a thing, you know, a hook, like that guy on the subway who eats his own face. So I figure I'll be Crazy Man with a Snake, y'know. Crazy Snake Man. And I'll get more snakes, call them my babies, kids won't walk past my place, they will run. "Run away from Crazy Snake Man, " they'll shout!”
