You may get snows with a lot of pink, but then again you might not. I'm not sure exactly what it is that makes some more pink than others. I guess it's just selective breeding. Also, in general, males seem to be more pink than females.

If on the other hand your male is hypo as well as being anery and amel (like mine is), then the reason for him being pink is the hypo genes.

I don't know if you are familiar with hypo snows, also called coral snows, but if you are trying to get more pink snows, you should try to get your hands on a hypo female to breed your male to, instead of your normal. That way you get triple hets for hypo/coral snows instead of double hets for regular snows.

Don Soderberg (South Mountain Reptiles) has some coral snow pictures in his photo gallery on his website. You might want to check them out.

Here's a pic of my hypo/coral snow:
