Honestly I would say not unless your breeding. There are pros and cons to both sexes when breeding. Just to name a few males mature faster than females and can breed (for me anyway) usually a season before the female is ready.

Males can also breed multiple females where females an only essentially breed one male. Now i know you can have a split clutch with two males but I'm not gonna get into that

For me it really depends on the morph and what project im working on. for instance I have a Het Burgundy female. She bred this year so if I get a male offspring I can keep him and he should be ready by next season to breed back. Where with a female hatchling I would have to possibly wait two seasons to breed her depending on weight obviously.

Now these are just a couple of my opinions.. its really all trial and error and deciding what you want to do with them. Hope this helps a bit.
