If you get a captive bred animal I wouldn't really say emeralds were any harder to keep than gtp's, and vice versa. Their requirements are slightly different but neither is really any more complicated than the other.
With both species, please try and only buy genuine captive bred animals. Unfortunately in the majority of cases those on sale in pet shops are either wc (more so with emmies than gtp's) or farmed imports. There are a few people in the UK now breeding gtp's so finding a cb animal shouldn't be too much of a challenge. There aren't nearly as many people breeding etb's at the moment though. Expect to pay from £325 for a gtp, £400 for a northern locality emerald, and from £1000 for a basin emerald.
