I know there is a million morphs, and a million names, but I'm curious as to your opinion on what morph this is. It is close to a snow motley, but I'm being told he has too much pink for that. Opinions?

Just a regular snow I think. :3

I see no motley either. Though he could be het, and I think motley is similar to diffuse, in that some snakes that are het can still express a degree of the trait.

He just seems like a normal, but fairly pink snow. Some snows end up developing a lot of pink, yellow and orange, which makes them among the prettiest morphs in my opinion.

Cool, thanks everyone. It became a discussion earlier, and I was told he was not a snow at all because he has pink on him, I was told he was a Amel, which I argued. Then I was told he was a salmon-snow, whatever that is. I thought he was a motley because of his belly, but that just shows my lack of knowledge, hah.

Amel's have way more red and orange.

Definitely not just an Amel but not sure if it's got anything else going on other than snow. It is very pink! Quite pretty! I know a number of high color snows are line bred and some have additional genes that enhance the effect, usually homo Hypo, even though the Amel "masks" the Hypo, it often brings out the pinks. I'm not very knowledgeable about snows but if I'm remembering right, a salmon snow is one that has Hypo too. But I could be wrong on that, maybe it's the name for the line bred ones instead.
