Can someone give me their opinion on whether Emperor Scorpions make good pets, and information about how to care for one?

I'm considering getting an Emperor Scorpion. I know that they are docile as scorpions go, and I know that I shouldn't pick one up unless necessary. I've been doing some research, but any help is appreciated.

Also I was wondering whether I could keep 2 in a smaller enclosure such as a 5 - 10 gallon tank.

Naw not really even though they are different they seem to stay under ground most of the time.there would be little contact with these type critters but some like them just because they are different and can say hey I have a scorpion.
Their is not much care required for them give then a large enough area to be able to survive like a 10 gallon fish tank.Have to cover the bottom with the right type subtance they can dig and burrow into to stay hidden also offer a hide spot or two have to have a water dish and foods and a heater to keep the area at a steady temp and have to monitor the humidty well this is very important for the scorpion.
