4imperials would be fine, 1 male to 3 females.
Generally better kept in Glass tanks with deep substrate.
23-25c is what i keep mine at, tho some i have had at room temp for a long time.
Feed them 3 crickts a week, depending on size of food, and size of scorp.. Just ensure they all eatting and are healthy.
Be careful when you first place them together, as thats often when you get the problems. Once settled and content you wont generally have cannibalism Gravid females will kill other occupants though so give them ample room to escape each other and hide

C Strikes advice is cool. I keep mine at a 25-30 gradient. Also, the heatmats should go on the side of the tank, as scorps dig to get away from heat.

I will be having some baby emperors for sale in a week or two, for probs about £5 each, if your interested?
