Arboreal container. They like to hide so a larg bamboo tube or something to hide in.
Breeding pokies are normally tolerant of males providing female is well fed. Leave male in for a week or so, if you witness mating remove him maybe after second. Think metallica take about 10 months from mating to egg sac.
Not an ideal display spider for a shop, as if kept correctly, will rarely be seen apart from some sparkly toes!

I'd keep them the same as any others. I only spray my regalis and others weekly anyway and just keep a full water dish. Never had any problems
