No, there is no legitimate temperament difference between the two sexes, and they are a VERY passive snake by nature anyway which is a big reason so many people own them(except me..LOL!). You must keep in mind, that ALL snakes are individuals, and can have their own "personalities".

As "varanid" mentioned, there are many other types out there to choose from too, but it would generally be hard to choose a more docile-natured snake than a Ball python. Just make sure you get one that is captive-born and eats well on a very steady feeding regimen. An albino would obviously be a captive-born animal, but I am simply letting you know to avoid anything that is NOT captive born at all costs. You could be buying a huge headache otherwise..
