Either or really, there is no difference in how they are.
Although some males do tend to stop eating for a short while in the spring, due to mating season arriving.
This can be a worry for some new snake owners.

nothing else to add to what has already been said. unless you have a good name in your head then you need an appropriate sex for it

the only morph that comes to mind for differences is lavender - males tend to be a bit more colourful.

either is good.. best thing to do i think is get a hatchling and give it a non gender specific name and then get him/her sexed..

Guess it depends on what age you get your snake - if it is a hatchling then you have a 50/50 chance. As for an adult snake I think it would depend on what was available from wherever I got if from and which snake attracted me the most. xxx

Please correct me if i am wrong here, but i thought that females sometimes layed eggs even if there was no male involved... which would put a strain on their bodies.

Something worth thinking about when choosing between the sexes.

This is why I would buy a male over a female.
