I didn't vote in the poll, because there isn't enough info to make a judgment and the photos show the color different in almost each one.

You can only say that it's a coral snow if you know for sure that it is homozygous for hypo. If you know what the parents of this snake were I might be able to tell you.

If it's just a light pink and white, it's just called a regular snow.

If it has a significant amount of pink, you could call it a pink snow, though I'd still just call it a regular snow.

If it has lime-green bordering each of the blotches and the blotches are pink, then it's usually called a pink-and-green snow.

The reason it's shedding so much is either:
1. You're feeding it too much (One mouse every 14 days is good enough)
2. It has a wound somewhere that it is trying to heal. The only way they can heal themselves is to keep shedding.
Or
3. It has some other health problem (I've read that disease can cause multiple sheddings, but I've never encountered it; I doubt it's your problem).

I wouldn't worry too much about it shedding so much unless it starts to stop eating, not acting right, etc. As long as it seems healthy, it should be fine.

Also, just to point it out, you can edit your posts by clicking the EDIT button at the bottom right of your posts, so you don't have to keep replying to your own message.

Looks just like my female, i refer to her as a pink/green snow because there is a bit of both in the bloches...
