Like all insectoids: a good combo of heat, moisture and mould-free environment. You need the moisture, especially during moulting, so that the shell doesn't dry out mid-moult and kill it. What you need to do is get one of them spray bottle thinghies you use for ironing your clothes, and mist your emperor tank every day.
Water dish has to be extremely shalllow, otherwise they tend to drown in it.
Emperors are good starters - they're large and look impressive, and their sting is relatively harmless, but keep one of them epipen thinghies handy in case.
Diet? Mealworms, crickets, moths, and if you are able to catch them, once every two months a tiny lizard once it gets to 5 inches and can actually kill one. This can be completely omitted if you buy one of them scorpion nutritional supplement powders to dust over the mealworms and crickets.
Don't listen to the faggots who claim to feed live baby mice for "nutritional value". Pinkies are NOT part of an emperor's diet, and your emperor is not equipped to kill a pinkie and actually eat it.
