I've had Royal males either being sweet as a puppy or mean as the devil, same for a few females that I've had/worked with. It doesn't depend on the sex, nor the species, but the individual snake itself.

If you look at it from another angle; males are quite notorious for going through long periods of fasting if I'm not mistaken. I don't know if females really go through that ?

If you just want a pet it makes far more sense to buy a male. Males are much cheaper and even morphs are not that expensive compared to females. I have had males and females become aggressive (especially albinos, I hate those) however that is not the norm. You can quite easily find a sub adult or even an adult male and then you will be able to see the temperament.
It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

Those who are afraid to ask are ashamed of learning.
