They are both Costa Rican. A lot of Nic, males I see look very similar even wild caught ones. I think the actual collection point plays a role along with other factors, diet, lighting and so forth. Females are pretty easy to tell. Also it depends on the "mood" when the picture was taken. There have only been a hand full of Nics. on here that I think really look much differnt, although I do love the darker blue and body I have seen on those Nics. I have been told the body shape varies a little as well. The nics a little higher bodied and thicker while the Costa Rican strain in more stream line in profile.
