I ended up getting a crested gecko at the show, and it's all set up in my office with no problems. However, I went and spoke with my middle school science teacher, who I hadn't seen in almost 10 years, and he ended up giving me an adult red haired T.
He had three in his room that students had given to him over the years, and spiders didn't see to be his thing. I've got her in a small critter keeper for now, and I went ahead and handled her for a few minutes with no problems.
After I get off work I'm going to run grab some supplies for a proper cage, and I'll post some pictures tonight.
