Our convict is know almost 8 months old and is about 3 inches long.
We got her in early february and she was about 1-2 inches.

My question is how long does it take for Cons to become full grown? and what is the average female size?

Thanks
Tyler and Amanda

Female cons generally get around 4" (SL). I don't have any personal experience on the growth rate since mine was already around 4 1/2" when I got him, but I've been told that it generally takes around a year for them to reach their full size.
