How can you tell Cons form Redpoints?
« on: August 09, 2007, 05:06:54 AM »
I have some Cons or at least thats what they were sold to me as, and all but one have alot of blue to the belly and the stripping is fadding into spots on their sides.  I looked around and they seem atot like the redpoints.  How can I tell the diffrence?
Heres some pics to give you an idea of what they look like.  Their bigger now so i'll try to get a new pic.
Thanks James

It seems like honduran red points from what I can tell online have quite a bit more blue in them then yours.  Though yours are really nice looking cons.  Here is a pic from Jeff Rapps, of a felmale honduran red point.
