I can tell you if I bought a male and it turned out to be a female..I'd be HOT..If I wanted a female that's what I'd have added I buy animals based on a specific plan for my collection, mistakes on the breeders part happen but there should be some form of reimbursement for the mistake. In my mind the breeder still owes you a male..They sent out the wrong sex by mistake that's on them not your fault and now your stuck with a snake you didn't want and still have to buy a male..
