These are Costa Rica Convicts:

Is this type of marking considered Marbling/Calico? I know the pink cons in the back are marbled convicts. Ironically this Costa Rica Convict shows some of it as well. Its been there for a while now. I know that there are convicts that tend to show this marbling when they are young and are stressed. I have purchased some like that that marble for a month then they become regular black convicts. This one has been like this for 3-4 months now.

I think so but I am not 100% sure. I'll let the con pros answer this one. I am a severum type guy.
 
yeah that would be a marbled imo, they lose the speckeling at large size.
 
I assume he will loose the speckling, however, its been there for a few months. From my experience, they usually loose it within a month.
