Not that it excuses the utter bagronk this story is, but there is fair reason to assume that the Chamber Basilisk is female. Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them says that the male basilisk has a plume of scarlet feathers on his head. Harry never mentions feathers on the Chamber Basilisk, alive or dead, though he clearly describes the brilliant green scales, yellow eyes (once safely punctured) and various other features of the snake.
On the same note, the Diricawl is also canonical, though spoken of rather dismissively by this idiot author.
