Dude! That scorpion is awesome! Is she hard to take care of?
Nope. Just toss it the occasional gut-fed cricket, and mist once a day and they are quite happy. Do see that they have plenty of clean water however. And don't let anyone tell you that they do well in 'desert' set-ups. I had a 'zen garden' theme prior with white sand and black river rocks.
Pictured here.

She was miserable.

Changed it to a humid rain-forest set-up and her behavior perked right up.
They also digest very slowly, so it's very easy to overfeed them. One or two crickets per week is plenty. Obese scorpions live shorter lifespans, and they can go for up to a year without food.
EDITED TO ADD:
You cannot 'de-venomize' a scorpion. Remove the stinger and it will die. That being said, Emps don't really sting. They're far more likely to pinch you. If they do sting, it's about as bad as a bee sting. Unless you're allergic than...yeah.
A good set-up is a ten-gallon tank that *locks* They are active mostly at night, and will get into places in the cage that will leave you wondering how they did it for years to come.
Warm, humid environments is how they best dwell. I'd recommend a pad that sticks on the side over a heat lamp, and put it on the side, never the bottom, because Emps burrow for temperature regulation. Also be sure to give it plenty of hiding spots, as they are ambush predators.
They're also relatively inexpensive. An emperor themselves are about twenty bucks a pop. I got my set-up for a hundred bucks out the door.
