Does sex effect temperament and color

Temperament - generally no, though males 'can' become feisty or grumpy during the Spring breeding season. (I haven't had that happen personally.)Bustacapp said:
In some morphs, there appears to be some sexual dimorphism in coloration (most notably Hypo Lavenders). As a general rule, no.
Yes, and the opposite is also just as true.

Sometimes markings that appear really clear on a hatchling, will become less well defined as the snake grows on.
I bought a beautiful Amel Stripe a few years ago. As a hatchling, she was a vivid orange with lovely, clear, deep red stripes. By the time she was three, the orange had dulled, the red lightened and you could barely see any markings on her at all. Unless you caught her in the right light, she looked a uniform, solid dark orange. I hadn't actually intended to buy a Vanishing Stripe!

That's for sale???
Many become more melanistic: that is they gain some black wash as they age. This can muddy the waters so to speak. My amel also gained more white as he aged so he lost some of the brightness of the red and he also didn't have as sharp a border. He was still pretty though!
