Um.... Nope they do grow to be the size in the picture and even bigger.
Ive also read many horror stories with these things (most funny) but yet them damn things are creepy, i sure would not want to wake up in the middle of the night with one of them things walking on my face!

The size is a camera trick, exploiting the angle and the fact that there are two of them.

Haha! Good luck with that.

Here is a little tidbit of useless info for you all. Camel Spiders are not actually spiders. They are a member of the solifugae family.
