2 New Pink Toes

I kinda jumped in at the deep end.

Little story -

Was talking with my housemate about getting some spiders, she replied she had a friend who was selling 2 Goliath Birdeaters. So, I was like OK i'll buy them. Anyways, come Friday I picked them up and bought them home. I then done a little research/pulled a few care sheets, and I find they're Pink Toes and not Goliaths like he said they were. Ended up paying £120 for 2 males and their tank. I was ripped off basically.

Now comes the funny bit, I really don't like spiders. It's not for the fact they're spiders, it's just the fact they bite (they bit the previous owner on a few occasions, and always injected venom). I have a fear of being bitten. Larger animals like dogs etc don't bother me as you can see when they are getting nasty, but the idea of 2 fangs just digging into my skin makes me uneasy.

So, how should I go about handling them? Will have to at some point to clean them etc

They're both roughly 2inches in body, and 3inches including legs. They don't have a water bowl currently, should I add one?

Is it normal for them to fairly inactive during the day? Current tank size is roughly 2 feet wide, 1 foot deep and 1.5 feet high.
