Substitution...opinions??

Well, the breeder I bought my BCI from called last night and said that he was all ready to ship my snake out and noticed that he was a bit thin, and wanted to know if I would take another snake instead. He said he was reluctant to ship a skinny snake, but he would hold him and feed him up for a few weeks and then see if he could ship him, or I could take this other snake he had. He sent me a pic of the other snake so I could compare them. I asked him about temperment. He said that all baby boas can be nippy, but he thought they both had good tempers. He said he'd pla with them for an hour each this morning, and if the temperment of the second boa seemed good, he'd ship him out. So that's what happened. He'll arrive tomorrow. I've attached a pic of him. So, the questions...

Do you think he is as goos looking as the other (pictured in the "Im so excited" thread)? Does he look like he's in strike pose(like he does to me)? Does this mean he might be bad-tempered? Did I get ripped off? The pic is titles "babynicboa.jpg"...is he a BCI, or is he a Nicaraguan(sp) or is that the same thing. He looks like a BCI to me. Am I overeacting? And finally, does anyone have that snake-measuring program so I can find out how big he is (I'll find out tomorrow when he arrives, but you know)?
