i went to my lfs today and found a "white" con. it looks like a pink con to me. how do you tell the difference between males and females. How big do they get?
 
"White" Cons... and "Pinnk" Cons... are actually Leucistic...

Females will stil commonly have red bellies... it is usually a mroe subtle coloration, but it is also easier to see on the paler background...

x2 . . . red belly is a good sexing technique for female convicts, even the pink (or white) ones
 
Yep its just a con that has diffrent genes to make it white/pink they still max at the same size for male and females being 3-4in and male gettin up too 6-7in

Pink are Cons
White are HRP Leucistic.

The HRP Leucistic females do not have orange on belly. Mine is full grown and only 3"

ya thats what mine are and i just got a male today and how do you tell when the male is ready to breed cause for the last few days my female has been showing her breeding colors
 
is the orangish belly a guaranteed female? I have a pink short body con that has orange belly but other features like a male such as a bit of a bump and just being very robust and larger.
