I found them at pet smart and HAD to get one. They were so pretty. Oh so they will get to the size of a con? You avatar con is beautiful, can't wait until she puts some size on.
Sorry my response is so late. Your female con will likely grow the most in the first 1-2 years of life. After that growth continues but is slower. My convict grew to almost his full size in the first year but hasn't grown at all in the last couple (he's 4 years old). He also maxed out much smaller than most cons at 3 inches body length, 5.5 inches total length (he has an extremely long tail). For a female, I would expect her to get anywhere from 2.5 to 4.5 inches total length eventually. I've rarely seen females that are larger. Also, if she produces eggs on a regular basis then her growth rate will be slower because she's investing so much energy into reproduction rather than growth.
