Eek, that's what it looks like to me. Yikes, I don't think I'd want to see that in my office, although I love seeing them "up close." I'd prefer behind glass, though, at a zoo, haha. Are you including the legs in the measurement? I know the bodies are usually 1-4 inches, but that doesn't include the legs. Too bad there's not something near it to judge size (like a soda can or dollar bill or something). Beautiful animal, though, even though they scare the crap out of me!
